DIVINE ROOT YOGA
Despite the misconception of yoga meaning "stretching" or consisting of only the physical postures (asanas), the true meaning of yoga is "union" or "connection." Yoga is similar to a moving meditation, connecting or uniting your movement with your breath, while cultivating a greater awareness of both the breath and the body. Practicing yoga allows the body, mind and heart to open. Divine Root Yoga focuses on proper alignment in respect to the body, which helps to prevent the risk of strain or injury. We teach the importance of alignment and self-care in your yoga practice, encouraging you to listen to your body and to know how far to push yourself without pain or tension.




Combining elements of different styles of yoga such as Hatha, Vinyasa, Power Yoga and Iyengar, Divine Root Yoga can easily tailor the yoga teachings to suit your needs, help you focus on a specific area of concern, learn and master inversions and more advanced asanas, learn and practice meditation techniques, as well as start as an absolute beginner and learn yoga in a comfortable, safe and non-competitive environment.
