Join us Friday for Yoga to the Bee Gees!!

Welcome to Willow Yoga

Willow Yoga provides an intimate, non-competitive environment to practice your hatha yoga. Our classes are kept small to provide you with high quality, individual attention. Postures can be modified to accommodate your needs and a guided relaxation will end each yoga session.

We offer many different types of classes and private sessions. Take a look at our schedule and sign up today to join a class.

What's New

We hope everyone will have a safe and happy summer!! We have a few changes for the summer months so please read carefully - we'd hate for you to miss anything! Becci and I have been brainstroming lately (always a dangerous thing!), trying to find ways to save money in this never ending bad economy without raising our prices! You'll notice a few class changes and a few changes around the studio- we apologize in advance if these changes are not to your liking! Again, enjoy the summer - travel safe and try to keep up with your yoga practice - you'll be glad you did!!

Namaste,
Kim and Becci

Girl Scout/Brownie Yoga

Remind all the girl scout troop leaders that you know that we do "GIRL SCOUT YOGA" here at Willow Yoga. We will teach the girls a few poses, tell them a little about ther philosophy of yoga and at the end, they will receive a yoga patch to wear on their sash and a certificate of achievement! A fun way to earn a patch - for the girls and the troop leaders as well!!

Yoga Philosophy 101

As we continue our study of the Eight Fold Path of Yoga, the 2nd limb is NIYAMA. Niyama refers to the personal disciplines. There are five of these. Saucha - cleanliness ( clean, pure thoughts as well as personal hygiene), Santosha - contentment (satisfaction with what we have), Tapas - great effort (never giving up), Svadhyaya - self study (getting to know yourself well) and Ishvara Pranidhana - faith in God (whatever faith you practice, believe in it with all your heart.) Again, following this eight fold path helps us to keep our bodies healthy while learning to control our minds. We become wiser and more compassionate.
