"What is Yoga?"

Yoga is a centuries old practice that combines breath awareness to movements in your body. Yoga students gain flexibility, increase strength and reduce tension in their body to feel great. HeartWork Studio provides the gateway to a better life through our quiet, soothing environment and our highly qualified teachers.

"Who is Doing Yoga?"
Everyone! Men and women from teens to older active adults. You don’t need to be flexible or strong, we’ll help with that.

“I have never done yoga before, do you have classes for beginners?”

Yes, we have 3 classes each week specifically for beginners. You can attend “Beginning Yoga" classes Tuesday mornings at 8:30am, or Tuesday evenings at 7:00pm and/or Saturday mornings at 10:00am.  We also have a Relaxation Yoga class on Sunday evenings at 6:30pm that works great for beginners.

“What do I wear to yoga class?”

Wear whatever is comfortable for you. You can wear loose fitting pants or shorts and a comfortable t-shirt or tank top. Layering clothing works well so you can remove extra layers as you warm up. We leave our shoes in the hallway outside of the yoga studio. It will also feel better if you remove your socks for the yoga class. You can keep your socks on until class starts if that feels better.

“Do I need to bring special equipment?”

No. If you have a yoga mat, bring it. If you don’t, you can use one of our community mats. We also have yoga blocks, eye pillows, blankets, and sand bags for anyone to use or purchase.

“Do guys (girls, older people, college students…) do yoga?

Yes. Everyone is doing yoga nowadays. We have a great variety of ages from college to active older adults and both men and women in our classes.

“I have an old injury, what do I do with that?”

Yoga is adaptable to people of all abilities. We can help you work around your injury and still get a great yoga practice.

“My doctor told me to do yoga. Which class should I start with?”

If you have been referred by a doctor, it is best to call our yoga director, Amy Etzell, to discuss your specific needs and to help you pick a class to start with. She can be reached at 507-649-0898.
