13 things we believe


  1. There's no one right way to do a pose (we'll help you find your right way)
  2. Disconnecting from the internet and computer (and wow, do we like to be connected through Facebook and Twitter) will keep you from internet hangover and hackerback, and will help you reconnect with yourself
  3. Cute yoga pants aren't going to make your pose any better, nor make you happier in the long run
  4. Any type of body, build, shape, weight, or frame can do yoga---you can also be any age
  5. Chocolate deserves its fair spot on the food pyramid
  6. It's chintzy to charge for mat and towel rentals (borrow ours for free along with all our other props)
  7. It is important to know you by name
  8. Just getting to class is "good enough" -- if you want to lie down and rest the whole time, we won't bother you
  9. Yoga has very practical benefits -- from soothing type-A stress to lowering blood pressure to easing the aches of daily sitting and stiffness
  10. Yoga is not about what the pose looks like from the outside; it's about what's going on for you ---on all levels---inside
  11. You do not have to be able to touch your toes or know any of the poses to come to class
  12. You'll never be stuffed into a room of 50 people here---even though there's always room for one more, generally our class size is under 20 to maximize your student-to-teacher time
  13. Yoga poses (asanas) are one dimension of a healthy lifestyle. At It's All Yoga we also practice breathing exercises and meditation, and build relationships and community through volunteering, Book Club, health fairs and other events.
