One-on-One

There's no need for commuting, parking, or even putting on your shoes. The only thing that is required is about 4x8 of floor space.

An individualized yoga class, complete with props, will arrive at your door. The class regimen will be tailored to your own personal needs and syallabi will be created for you, with addendums to follow. Up to two of your friends may also be invited to revel in the peace of an individualized yoga workout.

Private sessions last from 45 minutes, to 1 hour 15 minutes, depending upon your scheduling needs.

from $50 per 45-75 minute session

Corporate

With a little bit of space and organization, the workplace can be tranquil.

Before the classes begin, the health and fitness of each participant is gathered, and each person's needs are taken into consideration; even special needs are accommodated. You do not have to know your co-workers well to enjoy spending this time together. Leave work with a smile on your face.

Class times available over the lunch hour or after work. Many insurance programs are offering discounts to those businesses offering preventative health care options. Look into it!

from $40 per 45-60 minute session

Prenatal (see testimonial)

Like all yogic practice, prenatal yoga focuses on postures (asana), mental focus (dharana), and breath (pranayama) to keep your body, mind, and spirit healthy during your pregnancy.

Proven to keep back and joint pain away, the asanas that we focus on keep your joints aligned and muscles strong. Dharana takes you focus off of your ever-changing body and eases the birthing process. Pranayama leads to inner relaxation and dispersion of hormones which keeps you serene. The practice of prenatal yoga, also, helps your body return to a toned and lean state faster, post-pardum. Doctor's permission is required before participation, though most previous conditions can be worked through during prenatal yoga.

This class is about pregnancy, for pregnant moms, so join us Thursdays 5:15-6:15 pm at Mercy Fitness Center. You do not have to be scheduled for delivery at Mercy Hospital in order to join us at the Fitness Center. It is a great treat to yourself and baby.

Baby and Me

Baby and Me Yoga invites moms and/or dads to practice yoga with babies from ages newborn to two. This class is just long enough to gain balance, without being too long for baby. Feel free to bring a blanket or bottle for feeding and your own mat. (Physician approval required prior to 6 weeks post-partum.)

This is a class about families, for families. The little members mostly "ooh" and "aah" in fascination with what the older babies and parents are doing. The older babies are encouraged to try what they can and are allowed to wander to other mats to make new friends. We have seen plenty of "firsts" (rolling over, crawling, singing) and we look forward to seeing your family come play yoga.

The next session begins soon, so clear your calendar for Wednesdays, 6:30-7:15 pm at Mercy Fitness Center.
