Mind, Body, and Spirit

Yoga Classes
Our style of yoga is based on the work of Vanda Scaravelli. Breaking away from restrictive yoga teaching styles, Vanda and her students developed a style that is reflective and honors the student's own experience. Students are encouraged to practice postures and breathing exercises without straining, but with interest, reflection, and patience. We apply the principles of releasing, breathing, and grounding to move into the postures with ease and mindfulness.

Come from your practice feeling refreshed and centered. Students are encouraged to reflect on their own experiences and find the postures, breathing practices that assist their bodies in releasing tension, and focusing their minds. Students who are fit can feel challenged, while students who are working with injuries, fatigue, or illnesses can feel supported and encouraged.

2 Styles of Yoga:  We offer instruction in 2 styles of yoga. Hatha yoga classes involve yoga postures as well as breathing practices and meditation. An emphasis is placed on the student's experience and needs. We currently have Kundalini yoga classes, which involve energy work and breathing practice as well.

At Four Directions Yoga, students can start classes at any time, and take classes throughout the week as fits their personal schedules. Yoga classes can be paid for at a drop in rate, through a punch card system, as unlimited classes and workshops. Additionally, we offer retreats, workshops, classes, as well as teacher training and enrichment for those interested in deepening their practice.
