Do I have to be fit & flexible to practice yoga?

No. Yoga is great for everybody! You can come as you are and work at your own pace. Variations and modifications are given during class for beginners, as well as those students that have physical limitations. Our Yoga “meets you where you are”.

Physically, yoga can increase strength, flexibility, balance and endurance. Mentally, yoga can reduce anxiety, stress, fatigue and depression, as well as calming the mind, allowing for mental clarity and better sleep. Through improved physical health and spiritual growth, many yogis report feeling happier and more peaceful with their lives

How many classes will it take before I see/feel results?

Each person has a unique experience with yoga. Some students feel results after as little as one class! Others need multiple classes before they settle into their practice. With any new activity it takes repetition to get a good “feel for it”. Give yourself time and try not to rush your experience.

Is yoga a religion?

No. Yoga does share some things in common with religion, including the study of ancient texts and gathering of like-minded individuals for study under a learned teacher, but these things alone do not constitute a religion. Though some yoga practices encourage meditation on a universal spirit, which may even be called God, the nature of that God is left open to interpretation. Some are confused by yoga’s relationship with Hinduism, since much of yoga’s language borrows from the Hindu lexicon. Though yoga and Hinduism are both products of ancient India, they have evolved into separate practices just as it has spread outside of its land of origin. Yoga can be a spiritual practice, but it is not a religion, because it does not dictate the nature of a God to be worshiped.
