Yoga is a journey to find your true self. We believe in the ability of Yoga to transform your body, mind, and spirit, and to uphold the teachings in a contemporary and empowering way. By prioritizing quality over quantity, and the boutique experience of a deep correlation between teacher and student, we strive to achieve that perfect balance of harmony & mindfulness. Vinyasa Yoga's guiding philosophy is connection and intention, which literally translates to "to move with intention," and it resonates through all we do.

We seek to motivate you to improve the quality of your awareness, decisions, actions, and words, and not just teach you how to move your body.
