Offering public yoga classes and private yoga instruction in and around Harrisonburg, Virginia. Shenandoah Yoga is inspired by the Hatha yoga traditions of Vinyasa, Ashtanga, and Iyengar.
Take advantage of the long late spring and early summer days and warm temperatures that keep us more open and flexible and come out and try some yoga!
Our Yoga for Healthy Backs, taught by Patty, a certified Yoga Therapist, is continuing. Classes meet from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm Wednesdays and feature poses that both prevent and relieve back pain caused by musculoskeletal imbalances, tension, weakness, poor posture or stress among other factors. Prior back injuries or pain are not required of students attending - it's never too soon to start taking better care of your back! Please note that we recommend that students with current back injuries obtain physician approval prior to attending.
Please note that all classes will be cancelled for Memorial Day, Monday, May 26. Feel free to attend any other classes that week.
The prenatal yoga class is ongoing with classes on May 6 and May 20 from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm. Pregnant women at all stages of pregnancy are welcome. Pre-registration is required. Furthermore, current & new prenatal yoga students are invited to attend any Level I class - simply let your instructor (who has received special training to teach in prenatal yoga) know you're pregnant so appropriate practice modifications can be given.
In April, Shenandoah Yoga enjoyed teaching yoga to JMU alumni who returned to Harrisonburg for a reunion. More than half of the 70 year-old women in the class had never taken yoga before. On the other hand, some students nodded with familiarity as we tried out different asanas (physical poses) and pranayama (breathing) techniques.
Drop-ins are welcome for all classes on a first-come, first-served basis. Students may join any class any time. All Harrisonburg classes happen downtown. Directions and a map are posted.
Inclement weather may cancel class. In the event of snow, ice, or freezing rain, please call 540-746-8468, where any class cancellations will be posted.
