The art of Hatha Yoga is an ancient practice of self development which uses a variety of body postures, conscious breathing & concentration of the mind to develop greater strength, flexibility, endurance, balance and concentration. A regular practice of yoga can help relieve stress and pain while promoting overall health for the whole being.

Classes draw inspiration and guidance from B.K.S Iyenar’s teachings and methods which assist the student to experience the full benefits of a practice.  Proper alignment, correct action of the posture, as well as the use of yoga props, help assist the student, open the body and increase flexibility while protecting the student from injury.

Classes incorporate Qigong, (Chigong) exercises and techniques to help relax the body & mind, open joints, teach the fundamental spirals in postures and movement, facilitate greater sensitivity, increase micro- circulation, and create an overall greater flow of vital energy.  

Ongoing classes are now offered at Blue Bicycle Fitness’s Yoga Room, in Red Bridge shopping Center, 11128 Holmes Rd, KCMO.   bluebikefitness.com
