Is Yoga Right for You?

You've been told you should try yoga, but is it right for you? Many people worry about whether they're flexible enough, strong enough, or mobile enough for a yoga class. Plus, it's scary walking into a class for the first time!

This class is designed for YOU. During this 1-hour class, we'll move gently and slowly to introduce our yoga style and philosophy at The Perch. You'll be invited to be mindful and explore simple movements in your body. We'll do some basic poses and answer any questions you have. Led by Amy Jackson, owner of The Perch, you'll be in great hands.

This intro class is the perfect way to discover what yoga at The Perch is all about. All adults of all abilities are invited.

Join us Sunday, October 18 from 4-5 pm at The Perch for this in-person workshop!

You're invited to wear comfortable clothing you can move around in. The yoga will be gentle and accessible to all. If you have a yoga mat, you're welcome to bring it, but know that we have plenty to borrow. You'll have the opportunity to take off your shoes for the yoga portion, so please plan accordingly.
