Raja Yoga Wednesdays

= If you are looking for yoga that is more than just an exercise class, you have come to the right place. =

Classes begin with a yoga teaching, followed by yogasana (postures), pranayama (breathing exercises), and/or mental exercises (including meditation, chanting, brain twisters, etc). Poses are gentle yet effective and focus on building balance, flexibility, and strength. If you can sit down and get up from your mat without assistance, then you can do this class. You may also bring a chair and adapt your own poses if you are not able to sit on the floor. Beginners, persons with physical limitations and seniors are welcome to join us.

Please dress comfortably and bring a mat if you have one (a limited number of loaners are available), a water bottle, and any props as needed. Please arrive a few minutes early so that you may settle in before beginning your practice.

The principal instructor, Margaret "Anamika" Sullivan, has been practicing for 30 years, and studied with SVYASA, a yoga institution approved by the Indian government.

*Raja yoga (or the royal or king's path to union), is considered the highest path of yoga and a direct path to enlightenment. It is a comprehensive style that includes breathing exercises, mental training, study of yogic philosophy, and meditation, with Yoga Sutras of Patanjali as its foundational text. Postures are gentle yet effective and suited for those with limitations. All levels are welcome.
