"Having the yoga studio while I was at school was a true blessing. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined a better place than Midtown. Thank you for giving me that space as a student.” Ð Sabrina M.

HOW TO BEGIN

Yoga is universal, and anyone can do it - no matter how young or old you are, no matter how unfit you consider yourself. Whether you are a couch-potato or a professional athlete, yoga will help you in so many ways. Your size and fitness level doesn't matter because yoga adapts to you. The idea is to explore your personal limits, not to strive for pretzel-like perfection or drown in esoteric teachings. We have classes to suit all styles and needs, and if we don’t then we will set up a personal class just for you!

Kim will start teaching a new 5 Class Beginner Yoga Series at TOWSON, starting June 5 at 8pm. This class will be ideal for those of you new to yoga. Sign up now by emailing us.

"We attended a beginner class with Melissa last night. It was really a fantastic class. Can't wait to come back" - KN

REASONS to TRY YOGA (from Yoga Alliance)

1. STRESS RELIEF:  Yoga reduces the physical effects of stress on the body by encouraging relaxation and lowering the levels of the stress hormone, cortisol.

2.  LOSE WEIGHT: Yoga (even less vigorous styles) can aid weight control efforts by reducing the cortisol levels, as well as by burning excess calories and reducing stress.

3.  BETTER BREATHING:  It teaches how to take slower, deeper breaths

4.  FLEXIBILITY:  Yoga helps to improve flexibility and mobility, increasing range of movement and reducing aches and pains.

5.  INCREASED STRENGTH: Yoga asanas (postures) use every muscle in the body, helping to increase strength literally from head to toe.

6.  PAIN RELIEF:  Yoga can ease pain.

BENEFITS OF YOGA - EVEN MORE STUFF !!!

7.  IMPROVED CIRCULATION: Yoga helps to improve circulation and, as a result of various poses, more efficiently moves oxygenated blood to the body’s cells.

8.  CARDIOVASCULAR CONDITIONING: Even gentle yoga practice can provide cardiovascular benefits by lowering resting heart rate, increasing endurance and improving oxygen uptake during exercise.

9.  BETTER BODY ALIGNMENT: Yoga helps to improve body alignment, resulting in better posture, relieving back, neck, joint & muscle problems.

10.  FOCUS ON THE PRESENT: Yoga helps us to focus on the present, to become more aware and to help create mind body health.

The benefits of yoga are aimed to unite the mind, the body, and the spirit. Yogis view that the mind and the body are one, and that if it is given the right tools and taken to the right environment, it can find harmony and heal itself. Yoga therefore is considered therapeutic. It helps you become more aware of your body's posture, alignment and patterns of movement. It makes the body more flexible and helps you relax even in the midst of a stress stricken environment. This is one of the foremost reasons why people want to start practicing yoga - to feel fitter, be more energetic, be happier and peaceful.
