Even more news and updates for Sept:   See schedule for entire fall line up!  Closed Monday Labor Day.   Bittersweet news:  Chara will be getting married and moving to south Jersey.

All Levels - Beginner to advanced students welcome. Everybody needs some ‘chill out’ time.  Level 1 - Open to all levels, but due to the slower tempo it is appropriate for beginners as well.  Basic yoga postures to stretch & strengthen. Level 2 - Classes will incorporate a bit more diverse and deeper asanas with a moderate pace which allows you to open, stretch, and relax into a steady mind. Classes incorporate instruction with modifications for many levels.  Level 3 - Intermediate to advanced students.  Yoga experience suggested.  Classes either move quickly or work difficult asanas.
