Welcome to Shine

Namaste

Welcome! We invite students of all levels at Shine, with our main focus being Anusara Yoga. Anusara has therapeutic applications and is a wonderful practice for those dealing with injuries or physical limitations. But Anusara also provides the alignment and foundation you need to take your yoga practice to the next level. Yoga meets you where you are, and our aim at Shine is to do just that.

In addition to our Anusara classes, we offer Tai Chi, Yoga for Stress, Chanting, Vinyasa Flow, Prenatal, Mommy & Me Yoga, and much more. No matter what style of yoga is the best fit for you, this beautiful practice will help you relieve stress, increase your energy level, improve your posture, develop strength, balance, flexibility, patience and mental focus. And it's just plain fun! Please join us.

Family Health focuses on helping all of us stay healthy—particularly during those challenging transitions, such as back-to-school. Register now on our "events" page.

2. How much is it? Your first class is just $10. Drop-in classes thereafter are $13, but you have many options for purchasing class passes (now all passes are good for one year!)

3. Should I bring a mat? If you have a mat, please bring it. Otherwise, we have mats you are welcome to borrow.
