"The journey of a thousand miles begin with a single step" ~ Lao Tzu
Guiding people through the journey of Transformation
At Transform we believe that yoga is the journey within, and that each student navigates at their own pace. We strive to make sure that every person feels at ease about the practice, knowing that the transformation does not occur overnight and is forever changing. Our dedicated, highly trained and compassionate teachers are available to assist students with the growth process and encourage various ways to express the practice. We understand the transformation process because we are also forever students who are transforming too!
At Transform we offer many styles of yoga to support the lifestyles of a wide audience. We offer both heated and non-heated classes as well as vigorous and gentle styles. We also offer a variety of special events, workshops and healing sessions to support you along your journey.
All of our classes emphasize a judgement free environment to help students feel comfortable while learning and exploring the edges of possibilities. We welcome all ages, levels of experience and ability because we believe yoga is a universal practice for all. Students are encouraged to discover the practice that is right for them. The most important thing to remember is to become a student of your own internal teacher. A student of the universe.
"Transformation literally means going beyond your form" - Wayne Dyer

Some reminders and our policies:
-
Yoga is a time to unplug and focus on YOU! We ask that all cell phones be silenced and left in the welcome area or in your car. We also recommend the same for your watch if it is synced to your phone, texts, emails, and calls. This helps to prevent distractions for you while you devote time to your practice. Remember, it's about tuning out the outside world and tuning into yourself!! We really want you to have the best most inward experience!
-
Please remember to check the schedule daily to make sure classes are still being held, especially during winter weather. We will also cancel a class if there is no one signed up by two hours before the start of class. For heated (warm or hot) classes there must be a minimum of two people signed up so please sign up at least 2 hours before class. If a class is canceled that you signed up for we will send you an email that it has been canceled. We will also try to post on facebook.
