Yoga Classes:

All Yogamatters Yoga classes focus on body alignment, which allows the body to develop harmoniously in an anatomically correct way. As all bodies are different and people have different weaknesses and strengths, the use of props can help the body into the correct alignment. Props, such as, blocks, chairs, blankets, belts, wall, ropes, can assist in adjusting and supporting oneself in the different postures.

An added benefit is that correct anatomical alignment often result in eliminating aches and pains, improve posture, improve digestion, improve sleep, etc. The postures are held for a longer lengths of time to let the effects of the poses penetrate deeper within the individual.
