adult yoga
“Any action done with awareness becomes Yoga.” —Amma
Achieving perfect fitness has never been the primary reason to practice yoga. Our adult classes focus on bringing awareness to every movement and breath. Together we come closer to attaining inner peace—and, yes, healthier, more relaxed bodies, too! Students of all levels—from beginner through advanced— who are interested in deepening their practice are welcome.
Please check the class schedule to confirm class times and/or reserve your spot.
We offer some classes - in the studio and online.
If you want to come into the studio please contact: info@srijananiyoga.com to reserve your space. Please bring your own yoga mat and strap.
gentle yoga
Experience mindful breathing, meditation techniques and devotional chanting as you practice simple asana. You learn the fundamentals of technique, flow, breath and relaxation in a safe and structured way. The foundation of the asanas help you to connect with your inner self, thus connecting to the Divinity within.
Join us for this slow-paced, less rigorous yoga practice, where the emphasis is on alignment and breath. This is a wonderful class for those who want to be gentler with their bodies, perhaps because they feel tired, experience physical pain or stiffness, or simply want to be inspired by women practicing yoga at 91.
We use gentle movement, breathing practices, and classical yoga poses—modified with the aid of props like bolsters, blankets, blocks and yoga straps—to provide more support to the body. This helps you to relieve the effects of stress, releasing tension, strengthening your immune system, and relaxing more deeply to support a calm mind and clear vision.
All Levels Yoga
Ideal for beginners or continuing beginning students. The focus is on the basic standing, sitting, backbend and twisting poses. Learn the basics of hatha yoga in a safe and structured way. This class offers a sequential series of yoga poses that introduce the fundamentals of technique, flow, breath and relaxation.

Yoga is an invaluable gift from our ancient tradition. Yoga embodies unity of mind and body, thought and action ... a holistic approach [that] is valuable to our health and our well-being. Yoga is not just about exercise; it is a way to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and the nature.”
The resolution notes “the importance of individuals and populations making healthier choices and following lifestyle patterns that foster good health.” In this regard, the World Health Organization has also urged its member states to help their citizens reduce physical inactivity, which is among the top ten leading causes of death worldwide, and a key risk factor for non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes.
Restorative and Therapeutic Yoga
In this slow paced class we use gentle movement, breathing practices, and classical yoga poses—modified with the aid of props like bolsters, blankets, blocks and yoga straps—to provide more support to the body. This helps you to relieve the effects of stress, release tension, while creating a strong foundation to reduce pain and heal the body. Restorative yoga is especially helpful when feeling tired and depleted, or recovering from an illness or surgery. An added benefit is boosting your immune system.
Thursdays In studio and virtual
