beginners only

The City Yoga Beginners Only classes are recommended for students new to yoga or new to the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga system. The four week, twice a week course is designed to present a step by step introduction to the fundamental yoga postures and breathing techniques. The course emphasizes personal instruction, and provides each student with the solid foundation needed to develop a safe and beneficial yoga practice. A basic understanding of correct breathing and alignment will bring greater benefit and joy from the practice of yoga either at home or during a class.

The Beginner's Only provides several benefits over simply jumping into the "All Levels Primary Series" or the "Intermediate" classes; you will be among others new to yoga, the teacher goes slowly, you will be able to ask questions, you will begin to learn the yoga vocabulary and you will develop good habits from the start.

We recommend students of every fitness level attend the Beginner's Only Course. If, however, you have any serious injuries or physical challenges, we recommend that you call ahead and discuss your individual needs with one of our instructors.

Although the Beginner's Only course is the best way to get started, it is not the only way. If you can't fit it into your schedule, or you'd like to get started sooner, you can always begin with private or semi-private sessions coupled with either the Intermediate, Vinyasa Flow or the All-Levels Primary Series class.
