We often field questions about beginners classes. No doubt, we are know for advanced and intense classes, but we also offer classes for new students.
Vinyasa I classes are great for beginners. These classes follow the same structure as all classes at the shala (which we've borrowed from the classic Ashtanga Vinyasa format) but move more slowly, with examination of the fundamentals: what is the alignment in each movement? Do I inhale or exhale here? How can I modify this posture?
Thursdays at 430pm & Saturdays at 10am
Contact us with any questions.

We are proud to be the premiere yoga studio for the Quad Cities and surrounding area. Sharing space and vision with our sister school, the Davenport School of Yoga (DSY), we specialize in a powerful, dynamic and flowing form, called Ashtanga Vinyasa, the perfect counterpoint and complement to the measured precision and pace of the Hatha form practiced at DSY.
We subscribe to the idea that yoga was born of, has always been, and remains today a contemplative practice; for some, it is even a way of life. The explosive development of the physical practice of asana (“posture”), even at its most challenging and breathtaking, adds to, rather than subtracts from, this original, contemplative depth.
In imagery, iconography and language, yoga is culturally Eastern, specifically Indian, but its essence is universal, resonant, and ultimately rooted in experience rather than concept, thought, or intellectual definition. In this way it transcends all apparent boundaries and distinctions, and yet remains as intimate and personal as the breath. We are committed to uncovering and sharing the remarkable physical potential and piercing insight and awareness available through this practice.
