The Yoga Spirit Philosophy
Yoga Spirit offers classes for all levels in an intimate, inviting space, ensuring that each student receives attention and guidance in order to get the most out of their practice.
Practice with Yoga Spirit relieves tension — opening key centres of the body where the stresses of life are held. The methods taught by Yoga Spirit place emphasis on proper foundation and alignment in poses — the key to getting the most out of your practice. Variations in poses, or asanas, are worked on in classes, allowing each student to challenge themselves at their own pace.
Proper breathing techniques are also emphasized, allowing students to flow into poses and develop a natural rhythm to their practice. This element has many new to yoga achieving levels of flexibility and strength they never thought possible!
About Us
