What Makes Us Unique?
In addition to weekly classes for all levels, we provide free classes each month, scholarships for low-income students, classes for underserved populations, study groups, open practice sessions, and more. As the only nonprofit Iyengar yoga center in our region, we provide the best possible instruction from rigorously trained, certified teachers, while committing to keep our fees affordable to a wide population.

Why Become a Member?

• Enjoy a reduced drop-in rate of $12 ($15 for non-members).
• Open Practice: Come and use the studio for practice whenever classes are not in session.

In addition to these benefits, your membership will provide support for us as we continue our programs and grow as a yoga school. When you become a member, you will promote strength, flexibility, emotional stability, mental clarity, and spiritual well-being through the practice of Iyengar yoga to people in your community. As BKS Iyengar points out, “Yoga is firstly for individual growth, but through individual growth, society and community develop.”
