How Does the New Client Promo Work at Shiva Yoga?

Our New Client Promo — 30 days of unlimited classes for $70 — is designed to give you time to truly experience Shiva Yoga and see if it’s the right fit for you, at a discounted rate.

Your 30 days begin when you attend your first class, not when you purchase the promo. This gives you a full month to explore different class styles, meet our teachers, and discover how often yoga fits into your routine.

At the end of the 30 days, we’ll help guide you toward the most economical pricing option based on how frequently you attended classes, should you decide to continue.

Our auto-monthly memberships are completely flexible:

No long-term commitment

No one-month notice required

Stop or restart anytime, easily and painlessly

Shiva Yoga’s community is warm, friendly, and welcoming. Come as you are — we’re more than a studio; we’re your neighbors and friends.

✨ We’d love to practice with you.

If you are a returning member, you are eligible for the New Client Promo if you have not been to Shiva for 12 months. Please call (206) 355-7193 or e-mail shivayogaindesmoines@gmail.com to get started right away. And thank you! It will be so good to see you again.

It's the Perfect Time.............

01/20/2026

When we hold a Yin pose—relaxing, no muscle engagement—for at least 90 seconds, we gently stimulate the body’s connective tissues. This sustained stress encourages fibroblasts, specialized cells within fascia, ligaments, and tendons, to support the maintenance and remodeling of collagen. This brings youth back to the tissues.

Yin improves the hydration, elasticity, and resilience of connective tissue. You can think of it as tending to the body’s internal scaffolding—layer by layer—allowing sensation, circulation, and awareness to move deeper into the joints and tissues.

In Yin Yoga, poses are often held for 3 minutes or longer, giving us time to soften unconscious holding patterns and release layers of tension we may not even realize we’re carrying. With consistent practice, this can lead to healthier joints, greater mobility, and a sense of spaciousness and ease in the body—often described as feeling lighter, freer, and more youthful.

Yin doesn’t force change; it creates the conditions for renewal, supporting long-term joint health and balance in the connective tissues.
