We also follow class plans and work with a curriculum each term, so we prefer to take students on a learning journey. By seeing the same students weekly it allows us to monitor injuries and monitor progression. Being a yoga practitioner requires diligent consistent practice (abhyasa) , this ensures you gain the maximum benefits of yoga at the mind, body and soul levels.
The only exception is that prenatal yoga students can “pay as you go” once you get to 35 weeks gestation![/toggle][/accordian][/one_half][/fullwidth]
