In general, yoga is a mind-body practice that combines physical postures, breathing exercises, meditation, discipline and even humility to promote mindfulness, overall health and well-being. Yoga can help the practitioner learn awareness and control over one's own thoughts, habits, and actions and instill a happier lifestyle.

Not only do we focus on strength, flexibility and general fitness like any yoga class, we also take deep consideration that Cedar River Yoga is a school focusing on education and knowledge of yoga. Whether that is making progress in your daily practice, setting goals for something you want to learn more about, seek mentorship, or ready to take the leap into teacher training; we help you set goals so you make progress in the right direction. 

Just come to class that works for your schedule. You’re always welcome to just watch, listen and follow along. Do your best and have fun!  You can rest as much as you like. Come try all the different classes and meet all our teachers.  Your teacher will guide you along the way. You can read about our different types of classes we offer here.

No, yoga will help improve strength and flexibility over time. You can start at any level. Benefits include increased flexibility, strength, stress reduction, improved posture, mental clarity, and happiness. Consistency and gradual advancement in poses will help you progress. 

It's best to eat lightly at least 1-2 hours before a session or have a small snack if needed.

All of our teachers are required to have a minimum 200 hours education and hold a certificate of completion to teach yoga. All of our teachers, however, have many more hours of professional development, extra certificates, mentorship and specialty experience than even 200 hours! You are in good hands here.

You can come to class as often as you like. It is safe to practice everyday. But even starting with 2-3 sessions per week is a good baseline.  Come to class as often as you can.

As you make progress, you’ll start to consider your goals and how you want to make progress which may include flexibility, stress relief, strength, etc. Students will discuss with their teacher to set goals based on where they want to make progress.
