Feldenkrais

Feldenkrais is not yoga, but a whole unique movement practice and philosophy that is a great complement to yoga, or to practice on its own. The movements in Feldenkrais are small & slow, to help you develop more awareness, fluency, and ease in the movements of the body. This is a great practice for those who have repetitive movements in their jobs or lives and would like to ensure that they are moving wisely in those tasks. It is also appropriate for anyone who would like to refine their understanding of moving within their own body. All levels

All Levels + Soundbath

All Levels Yoga + Live Music

Yoga teacher Emily Parzybok teaches this all levels yoga class set to live music from folk musicians Ben Hunter and Joe Seamons. The yoga class includes a "yin and yang" style practice incorporating slow flow to warm and strengthen the body and restorative yoga to balance and deepen the practice. The music includes (un-amplified) banjo and fiddle paced to the rhythm and feel of the yoga practice so that the music flows with the yoga practice in a way that only live music can

Sustainable Practice

Classes focus on how to work with our yoga practice so that it can be sustainable over time. We pay special attention to movements that may, if done without mindfulness, cause stress on our bodies so that we can make adjustments that benefit, rather than strain us. We practice different ways of listening to our bodies so that we can better understand the unique ways in which we may want to adjust or refine our yoga practices so that we can get the optimal benefits from our practice. The class is taught primarily as a slow flow with multiple levels (stepped levels) of challenge & a focus on traditional yoga breath, mindfulness & philosophy and is open to all levels of experience

What some of our previous graduates have said about our program

"I was extremely satisfied with my experience in Lotus Yoga Teacher Training. Megan is an amazing teacher and guide, who offered us an extremely cohesive and well thought-out curriculum. The material and training were all so interesting, challenging, and relevant, not only to my teacher training, but toward enhancing my life. And this exponential personal and professional growth all felt manageable in the space that the teacher created and held for us students." "The director of the school, lead teacher and all staff and employees of Lotus Yoga with whom I had contact were professional, reliable, friendly, helpful and supportive throughout the training. The program allowed for flexibility within individual needs without sacrificing any portion of the expectations and requirements for completion of all facets of the training. The depth and knowledge of the lead teacher were exceptional and the training provided an extensive background that was beyond any expectations I had. A thoroughly wonderful experience." "Definitely exceeded my expectations by being a deeper and richly textured curriculum." "This training is one of the most significant things I have ever done and will stay with me forever." "The Lotus Yoga teacher training program was exceptional. It was focused on what I call "big picture yoga" or the 8 limbs, and not just on teaching a good mat-based workout. We learned about... what it means to be a yoga teacher (and what it doesn't mean), and about how to develop and good, well-rounded, safe and fun class. I am so very happy I chose to take my training through Lotus Yoga! I can't say enough about the experience... I hope to be able to continue my yoga education with their 300-hour training in another year or two."
