benefits in overall mood, stress levels, physical strength, and quality of life. Class sizes are kept small to ensure individual attention
and safety. No previous yoga experience is necessary. No drop-ins permitted. "Regular practice of Yoga can help you face the turmoil
of life with steadiness and stability." BKS Iyengar
