Some of the benefits of a regular yoga practice include stress reduction, increased flexibility, and improved balance. Yoga supports aging gracefully by helping to build strength while improving social connection with Sunseed’s supportive community of practitioners.

We offer a variety of classes including Hatha, Yin, and Iyengar yoga. There are classes for different skills and interests. Check out our class offerings.

Iyengar yoga is a version of Hatha yoga. Iyengar practice focuses on precision and correct alignment of the body while holding an asana (pose). Props are used to ensure alignment if the student doesn’t have the strength or physical ability to hold the precise posture. Asanas are held for longer periods to help practitioners build body awareness and strength.
