Balance Body & Mind

Jiva welcomes all students of all levels and
interests — new or more experienced, young and old alike. We are a small yoga studio of warm and friendly teachers and students who enjoy supporting each other in a practice that helps us to live more fully. Our aim is to help each student develop a lifelong daily yoga practice and to experience the health and wellness that this brings.

We recognize that every student may have a different purpose in taking yoga classes. Some of you will come for flexibility, strength or better overall fitness; others of you will come to reduce stress; and still yet others of you may come searching for deeper spiritual meaning in your lives. Whatever your goal is, we are here to help you realize it.

Jiva offers Vinyasa yoga. A dynamic yoga flow which builds strength and flexibility. For new students, we offer a Level One that provides a safe and friendly environment for getting familiar with your body and basic asanas (postures). For students with some or more experience, we offer All Levels classes. For those who wish to deepen their practice and understanding of yoga, we also offer a variety of workshops. Please join us as we share in this inspiring healing art.

YOGA reduces stress and tension, builds and tones muscles, realigns the entire body for better posture, improves circulation and digestion, teaches correct breathing, strengthens the immune system, enhances concentration and focus, enhances creativity.
