New to Yoga
If you are brand new to yoga or returning after a long sabbatical or working with some particular mischief in your body, these are the classes that might meet you best.
You don't need to be white or a guy, but if you feel tight and want to feel more open, this is a great place to begin. Originally named as a way to get my husband into class, this practice works for almost anyone.
Focusing on the low back, hips and shoulders, this class will ease discomfort and tightness. We move at a slow pace. Instruction is clear and easy to follow.
We do not currently offer this class on the ground. You can access over 250 Stiff White Guy practice videos through purchase of our video subscription.
