No experience necessary, all levels welcome! Our yoga classes will help you develop strength, alignment, relaxation and stress management skills to live a fully present life. With movement education as our foundation here at Metta, the flow of the classes consists of yoga postures, breathing techniques, yogic philosophy and meditation to guide students toward creating their own well-being from within. The skills learned on the yoga mat naturally transfer over into your every day life as your self-awareness and inner connection begin to harmonize with your external environment. Classes are open to all levels of students (beginner through advanced).

The stability ball is a great way to get extra support for moves that require endurance and flexibility and it also adds a balance challenge to some poses.
Yoga Basics
