We practice as we are able, when we remember, to be our best selves.
We practice consistently, with dedication and persistence.
We know that we are still human, faulted by ego.
We practice to, someday, overcome the obstacles that create fear, attachment, avoidance, ignorance and want.

There is yoga in every religion, but there is no religion in yoga.
There is no dogma, no worship, no faith, no following, no ritual, no leaders.
Yoga can be practiced by anyone, anywhere, at all times.
You can learn to do so on your own or from a guru.
You can practice among others or independently.
There are no rules or regulations.
There are suggestions for how, when and why.
Yoga includes intention setting, self study and awareness.
Yoga happens when we are consistent, dedicated and persistent in seeking integration through understanding of Self.
Yoga is a practice and a science.
Practice yoga everywhere and discover your Self.

One of the most important practices of yoga is svadhyaya: self study. Every aspect of the practice should be engaged in with an awareness of how it affects you physically, emotionally, mentally, and energetically.
You should always practice with an intention to know yourself better. While the intention of practicing yoga is to connect, yoke and unite is is not one of conformity. There is not one way to yoga because all of us have unique human experiences which affect our perceptions. While we can practice similarly, our sadhana is based in svadhyaya.
Seek a guide, studio, lineage and practices that help you get to know your self, not become like someone else, and learn to practice yoga everywhere.

It's our intention to teach you how to practice yoga everywhere.
We designed our space to provide you with the best experience for learning how. It's clean, quiet and comfortable.
While you can practice yoga in any space, you might notice that the energy and other activities that happen there can create distractions. Gyms can smell and feel dirty. Community spaces are often disorganized and unclean. Event spaces lack calm energy.
Choosing to practice yoga in a space intended for it allows for ease of focus upon the practice. While we can't eliminate all distractions (including those within you), we can hold space for you by discerning what we allow in ours.
How are you feeling?
Every session we guide includes this question. Every practice is adjusted to provide you with what you need. What do you want addressed? What does your body need? How are you feeling energetically, mentally and emotionally?
It's our intention to help you become more aware of your self so you know how to apply yoga practices to be at your best at all times.
Join a class or book a private session to begin learning how to better know your self.
Community, according to yoga philosophy, is people who are like minded. This is different from a clique which includes people who are alike or desiring to be alike, a cult wherein there is an expectation of conformity, or religious group in which faith or belief is expected.
A community of yoga practitioners is diverse. Every person is recognized both for their individuality, but also for understanding interconnection. There can be discussion and discord, disagreement and alignment. Ultimately, there is a deep level of respect and acceptance.
In a community dharma is recognized and valued. We all give what we can, do what we can and share what we have. We know that we do not have to be together at all times, have the same interests, believe the same things or like one another at all times.
What is yoga?
Ultimately, it's engaging in practices that reveal your authentic self and expand your awareness of the interconnection of all things. Are you surrounding yourself with people who accept you authentically?

On Wednesday mornings and Friday afternoons you can join us on Pope Beach for a practice on the sand. We set up at the main entry of the beach near the pier. Look for our flag.
Yoga, when taught properly, is therapy.
Our classes can include therapeutic aspects that address your physical, energetic, emotional and mental health.
Therapeutic Sessions, provided by Realignment Coaching, are individualized practices that are specifically adjusted and varied to provide you with exactly what you need. They may include movement, breathwork, intention setting, or mindfulness practices intended to give you the tools you need to create changes and redirect yourself toward living your best life.
Consistently attending classes combined with regularly scheduled therapeutic sessions can help you develop sadhana; personal practices, that you can apply to your life. You can treat pain, discomfort, imbalance and dis-ease. Therapeutic yoga can reduce the effects of physical and mental diseases.
Are you ready to incorporate yoga practices into your life to start becoming your best self?
On Tuesday we begin with scent to awaken (9:00AM), balance to become more steady (10:15AM), and energetic direction to shift into a state of self awareness (12:00PM). Our day ends outside with views of the mountain sunset (5:30PM).

It was serendipity that led to the creation of Lake Tahoe Yoga. For years studio owner, Jenay, would joke when walking by empty commercial spaces saying, “That’s a good spot for a Yoga studio.” She never thought she would actually open one.
Jenay Aiksnoras, ERYT500, M.S. Counseling, B.S. Psychology completed her 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training while studying for her Master’s Degree. At the time, she was working two jobs: nanny and flower delivery girl while also interning as a counselor. This is just a small example of her commitment and work ethic.
In 2008, Jenay and her husband Brian relocated from East (NY) to West (NV). Jenay began working as a School Counselor, Brian is a Physical Therapist. The two regularly discuss that which they are learning, challenged by, and struggling with in order to both grow as individuals and professionals. Brian’s knowledge of Physiology and Anatomy has helped Jenay improve her awareness of the human body. Jenay’s understanding of the human condition has helped Brian provide better treatment for his patients.
Lake Tahoe Yoga began as Svadhyaya Yoga Studio. Svadhyaya translates to mean Self Study. In the lineage of Rajahatha Yoga Svadhyaya is the most valuable practice to develop in order to access Samadhi (integration). The studio was built on a foundation of sharing knowledge and connecting with others through conversation as well as developing better awareness while moving and breathing.
As Svadhyaya Yoga Studio grew, so did Jenay; she completed her 500 level YTT in 2011 and established the Lake Tahoe Yoga School. She has trained dozens of new teachers in the lineage of Rajahatha Yoga. Svadhyaya Yoga Studio became Lake Tahoe Yoga and the motto “Practice Yoga Everywhere” is applied literally. Jenay has taught throughout the basin, at her teacher’s studio in Madison, Wisconsin, in Cambodia and at a few unique locations you should ask her about when you meet her.
Today, Lake Tahoe Yoga has become more than just a place to practice poses. The class schedule is simply labeled to reflect the style of Asana and lineage that will be practiced. Every class includes a philosophical focus, intentional sequencing and directed breathing. In the tradition of Hatha Yoga practices of Mantra, Bandha and Satkarma are incorporated.
Every class begins with a Dharmic Focus. We discuss topics written about in ancient texts including The Yoga Sutras, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Vedas and Upanishads. We will chat about how Yoga has influenced the various practices of modern times as well as how some of the ancient techniques are not quite as applicable today. You will learn proper technique for accessing postures, the proper application for directed breath, mindfulness practices you can do anywhere and more.
All ages and abilities are welcome at Lake Tahoe Yoga. It is the perfect place to begin, grow and deepen your practice. To learn more about our Classes, Teacher Training, Therapeutic Sessions, Private Bookings, Corporate Classes and our unique Realignment Coaching. Visit LakeTahoeYoga.com.
