At Your Yoga
Be yourself, more fully.
We are committed to providing a welcoming and affordable environment for your yoga practice to flourish. In practical terms, that means the following:
Our classes are priced in a way that puts people before profits.
We believe you have a right to be able to practice often, and our prices reflect that. We also have donation-based classes every week where you can pay whatever you are able to.
Our studio is a safe space free from judgment and competition.
Yoga is a practice that’s meant to develop your whole being – physical, mental and emotional – while also encouraging you to recognize your intrinsic beauty and worth. Our classes will provide you with opportunities to push yourself; however, we will never make you feel under pressure or insecure about the way you look or how your body moves. Certainly, incredible change is possible if you practice yoga with us. But first and foremost, we want you to come here and celebrate who you already are.
We do not post individual teacher schedules.
We are dedicated to helping you develop your practice, without growing attached to a specific teacher. All of our teachers are highly trained, and work together on an ongoing basis to present you with just the right balance of consistency and variety. We are committed to enabling you to find your own unique practice, that you love, and which will sustain you no matter who is teaching the class.
Our classes are almost all “open” level We're firm believers in the open class format, which emphasizes the fact that an advanced practice isn't about doing fancy poses, it's about the sensitivity with which you do any pose. Nevertheless, we do offer some “basics” and “advanced” classes for those who wish to spend more time building a solid foundation for their practice, or exploring more intricate poses and pranayama breathing exercises.
The room is kept warm (not hot) at around 80 degrees and 40% relative humidity
The same kind of climate you'd feel on a beautiful early evening in summer. We believe this makes for a pleasant atmosphere that also allows your body to warm and stretch naturally, deeply and safely.
