For Beginners
New to yoga and a wee bit tentative? We’ve got you covered!
What is Yoga?
 |
In our country, we primarily focus on the physical practice of Asana (yoga postures).There are many different styles of yoga from the very slow moving/meditative styles that focus primarily on breath and stretching to the very physical almost martial arts-like structure of Ashtanga Yoga.
What we teach at Quest primarily is a style known as Vinyasa, a breath based flowing and thoughtful progression of postures that prepares your body/mind and spirit to go deeper. Vinyasa Yoga is very athletic, creative and (depending on the level) often sweat drenching. If you love to move, this is a great style for you.
Beginner Workshops:
For the brand new beginner, we offer 4 week workshops. These intimate, workshops are the perfect way to begin your journey in a safe, nurturing and inspiring setting. We guide you, step by step, through yoga breathing, core postures and the flow that links all these elements together. Click this Workshops link to be directed to our web scheduler where you can view our upcoming offerings and even register online!
Don't worry...we will not experiment with the pose featured to the left during the 4 week workshop!
What do I wear? What do I bring?
One of the great things about yoga is that it isn’t fussy. All you need to worry about is
having comfortable clothing that gives you a full range of motion…and your two bare feet! Don’t fret about not having fancy yoga clothes. Many teachers happily practice in their favorite sweats! (Frankly, we hope that you won't have fashionable Yoga clothing - we'd like you to purchase from some of our selections! For more details, go and check out the Merchandise page of this website.) 
You’ll need a sticky mat. If you forget or don’t have time to get one, we rent mats at the studio as well as sell them. Water is good, but if you forget…we sell it. And if you heat up easily, you might want to consider bringing a towel, although we rent those too!
Any other questions call or e-mail. Or go to our Contact us page where we will direct you!
We’re so honored that you’re considering beginning your Quest for outer and inner health with us!
