What is yoga?

Asanas--the physical practice of yoga "postures"--is what most people associate with yoga, but it is only one of eight aspects of yoga. People have practiced yoga for thousands of years, and during that time, the word yoga developed many different meanings and interpretations. One of these is "to come together" or "to yoke," underscoring the union of body and mind, the union of movement and breath. The more we progress, the greater our awareness becomes.

Another meaning of yoga is "to attain what was previously unattainable." At Yoga For Lawyers, we believe yoga is inherently therapeutic.

What kind of yoga do you teach?

Class is a gentle combination of simple pranayama, or breathing exercises, and traditional Hatha yoga asanas, or postures. Moving gently from one posture to the next helps us to develop a deeper awareness of how we carry our bodies in space, and where we hold tension, so we can release and relax--in challenging postures on and off the mat.

All levels are welcome, but class is geared towards absolute beginners who are new to yoga.

What should I wear?

Please wear comfortable clothing you can move in.

What should I bring?

No special equipment is necessary to practice yoga. You may bring a mat if you have one.

How much does it cost?

There is no cost for class. Yoga For Lawyers encourages students to show their gratitude, if they wish, by making donations to our generous hosts at Kula Yoga for sharing their studio space with us.
