Who Should take Yaso Yoga?

Yaso Yoga is excellent for anybody seeking mental and physical wellness. All poses can be customized to each individual’s ability. Modifications will be offered in every class.

What Do I Need to Prepare for Class?

First and foremost, bring a good, loving attitude! Be sure to arrive to class prepared with a mat, practice rug/large towel, and a hand towel. Blocks and a strap are recommended for beginners. Come well hydrated and with an empty stomach and arrive to class about 10 minutes before starting time. All yoga gear can be purchased at the academy.

Can My Kids Take Yoga?

Yes! In fact, we offer kids yoga three nights per week from 4:30-5:15 on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Kids Yoga is an age-appropriate class catered specifically for ages 9-16. The class is designed with kids in mind. Through my years of experience in teaching kids, I’ve come to the conclusion that kids need a different presentation of Yoga to make it fun and enjoyable and still receive all of the benefits of an adult Yoga class. In most aspects of Yoga, the desire for a child to learn falls on the instructor and not on the type of Yoga. At the Institute, Instructor David Gallaher brings over 27 years of experience in training kids.
