Welcome
RiverGarden Yoga Center offers a variety of morning, afternoon and evening yoga and meditation classes for all levels of experience -- from beginner to advanced.
The first class is always free to local residents.
Our Approach
We endeavor to create a friendly, non-dogmatic environment at the studio, open to all who wish to learn postures (asana), breathing (pranayama), meditation, the use of sound and the study of the Yoga Sutras. We offer classes, workshops and individual instruction to accommodate each student whatever his/her goal. It is our goal to assist each student’s quest for personal health and spiritual well-being through yoga and related mind/body practices.
Upcoming Workshops
