Mountain Yoga Studio is a sanctuary. The classes are taught by well trained and competent teachers who are certified and experienced. The Studio has a welcoming environment including the owner, instructors, students and featured guests. Classes range from gentle yoga to advanced and include classes for everyone with tailored modifications for persons with physical challenges. Special workshops and other events enhance the experience including guided mediation, yoga teacher certification training, group acupuncture sessions, group Rieki, Yoga Nidra, and special workshops such as the upcoming Shoulder Workshop taught by an Iyengar Certified Instructor.

The continued contribution and success of Mountain Yoga can be assessed by the number of years the studio has been in operation and the number of students who have been with Mountain Yoga for more than 20 years. The mindset of the population is charitable, giving, friendly and approachable. Mountain Yoga is an experienced, caring. stable, competent and safe place to practice yoga at any level. I highly recommend Mountain Yoga Studio.
