The Center welcomes those new to Yoga and provides several ways for you to get an introduction to the practice: Take a free trial class. For complete beginners we recommend our beginner drop-in classes on Saturday and Sunday. Visit one of our Open House events. This free event includes a talk and demonstration, a yoga class and a talk on meditation with practice. We provide a free vegetarian meal for Open House participants. Sign up for one of our beginner courses (Yoga 1). These courses provide a complete introduction to the practice and include instruction in yoga postures (asanas), breathing exercises (pranayama).
