Yoga creates optimal health through balancing, toning, and harmonizing all body-systems. Yoga calms agitation and discomfort in the mind, and regular practice creates the right conditions for the spontaneous arising of joy.
At Yoga Center Amherst our classes are taught with an attitude of exploration, investigation and fun. We pay particular attention to the coordination of breath and movement, in order to increase relaxation, comfort, and ease on all levels.
Our Yoga classes range from very gentle to very vigorous. We incorporate the principles of alignment taught in the major schools of yoga today, along with the principles of inner- alignment, that are presented in our own embodyoga® programs.
