6.Are beginners welcome? Absolutely! We have ALL been beginners, and we are honored to be a part of your yoga journey. We offer beginner-friendly options and instruction in all of our classes, as well as options for more challenges. Everyone will look different in class at times, and that is one of the best parts about yoga. Some students have been practicing for over a decade, and some a couple months. In time we become less concerned with what others are doing on their mats and more immersed in our own practice. Starting something new takes courage and we would love to have you. We encourage you to keep going, keep trying the different styles of yoga, and explore a variety of classes over time to inspire, challenge, and ground you!
