Please join us for three sessions of the popular Iyengar Yoga classes Joanna and James offered on campus this fall and year-round at Otter Creek Yoga in the Marbleworks . The focus is on classical yoga postures with attention to alignment, which helps students gain strength and flexibility safely.  By learning correct action in the yoga postures, students receive the fullest possible benefit of the practice on every level—physical, mental, and spiritual.

  • If you are looking to improve your physical and mental health, try yoga!
  • If you want to heal from an unhealthy relationship with food or other substances, try yoga!
  • If you are very out of shape, and fear that it will be too strenuous, don’t worry — you can work at your own pace.
  • If you are very athletic, and fear that it won’t be challenging enough, don’t worry — most athletes find they benefit tremendously from yoga.
