To inquire about bringing yoga to your workplace, please complete the contact form. We will begin by setting up a meeting so that I can see if the space you plan to use for yoga classes will be suitable and to discuss specifics about your employees' needs. Classes can be held in a conference room or any large, quiet area free from distractions.
Class Format: A typical class lasts between 45 minutes to one hour. The first few minutes are spent sitting quietly practicing deep breathing, allowing the mind to become more calm and quiet. Next, students will move through a series of postures (asanas) to stretch and strengthen muscles. Finally, we end with a deep guided relaxation allowing all tension to release.
No Experience Necessary: Classes will be taught with the beginning student in mind.
General Information: Classes are held once or twice per week in 6 or 8 week sessions. A group of 8 or more participants is recommended. Students should wear comfortable clothing that allows for a full range of motion and bring a yoga mat.
Cost: $80 per participant for an eight-week session held once per week. Some companies subsidize the classes and pay a portion, while others simply provide the space and the opportunity. Companies subsidizing the entire cost may be charged a flat hourly rate for large groups to help control costs. Please contact me for additional pricing information.
