Begin a new yoga practice, revive a past passion, or invigorate your current practice.
Our certified teachers will help you explore yoga poses, calm yourself through breathing exercises, and still your mind through meditation – helping you to apply your practice on and off the yoga mat.
Our space is a welcoming, peaceful environment where people of all ages gather to learn, teach and practice together. After class, take a moment to relax in our enchanting urban garden.
The teachers at RiverGarden come from a variety of traditions --including the traditions of T.K.V. Desikachar, viniyoga, Kundalini and BKS Iyengar-- so you are sure to find the right fit for you.
Our Approach
We endeavor to create a friendly, non-dogmatic environment at the studio, open to all who wish to learn postures (asana), breathing (pranayama), meditation, the use of sound and the study of the Yoga Sutras. We offer classes, workshops and individual instruction to accommodate each student whatever his/her goal. It is our goal to assist each student’s quest for personal health and spiritual well-being through yoga and related mind/body practices.
