Join for a series of yummy Saturday morning yoga classes. We will be slowing down on purpose in order to learn how to conserve our energy and approach a yoga practice and thus our life in a more mindful way. Class 1 will focus on connecting our mind and body which is the fundamental principal of yoga. Class 2 will focus on the sun salutations where you learn to build the strength and flexibility for which yoga is famous. Class 3 will focus on opening the upper and lower body. These postures relieve chronic pain and eliminate dis-ease in the body. Class 4 will put everything together. All levels will find benefit and are warmly welcome. Class 1: Connect Mind & Body Class 2: Sun Salutations Class 3: Upper & Lower Body Opening Class 4: Putting It All Together

Hello Spring, there is a new bud in the air!

The Esther Vexler Yoga School (EVYS) is eager to announce that we are opening our hearts to hire a new Lead Teacher for our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training.

The EVYS 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training is a well-rounded hatha yoga program, providing the basics of hatha yoga instruction including alignment, modifications and props, yoga philosophy, polyvagal theory, subtle body anatomy, mantra and more. Following the example of our namesake, our philosophy centers on our belief in every individual’s connection to community. Esther Vexler was a lifelong advocate on a wide range of causes addressing economic and social inequality in our society. For Esther, practicing yoga was necessary self-care to enable her ongoing service to our community. To honor her legacy, a commitment to equity and community service is integrated into everything that we do.

Qualified individuals are Yoga Alliance certified at the E-500 RYT level.

EVYS provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, religion, age, disability, gender identity, results of genetic testing, or service in the military.

What a beautiful opportunity to care and learn how yoga can impact us in all stages of life.

Curious about our End of Life Yoga Certification? I'm holding a zoom info session on Tuesday, February 27 from 6:30-7:30 where I'll tell you what to expect and how yoga is such a powerful tool in working with people at the end of life (and people who serve those at the end of life). Drop me a DM and I'll send you the zoom link!
