Yoga means "union" in Sanskrit. Yoga is an ancient science with numerous practical applications for our modern lives. Yoga is the process of making oneself whole.

All people can create a stable, calm framework from which to live their lives to the fullest by working with and understanding the body, controlling the breath, and quieting the mind. Quality of life is greatly enhanced by health, strength, and flexibility of body, mind, and spirit. Yoga is a pathway which assists in developing these qualities.

The Yoga practice taught at the Sheboygan Yoga Center consists of three practices:

~Asanas~
Yogic postures or poses that build strength, flexibility and create a sense of well-being and balance.

~Dhyana~
Meditation and relaxation which sharpen the intellect, aid in concentration, and steady the emotions.

~Pranayama~
Pranayama refers to yogic breathing techniques that calm the mind and bring life and vitality (prana) to the body.

Can Anyone Take Yoga and Pilates?
Yes! By limiting class sizes, Yoga Center teachers are able to provide individual attention, thus allowing students to start from any level of fitness and progress at their own pace. Students are encouraged to work to the best of their ability to increase flexibility and strength. If you have any medical concerns, please seek the advice of a doctor and a yoga instructor before practicing yoga or pilates.

What Do I Wear?
Yoga attire is simple and inexpensive. Wear either shorts or leggings and a T-shirt. Please do not wear perfume or heavy jewelry to class.

*Yoga Tip: You will work best on an empty stomach.
