Build strength, balance, and clarity in your mind, body, and spirit
Yoga on your terms,
starting where you are.
We’ll help you start a home yoga practice and stick to it.
Yoga has been proven in thousands of studies to have numerous health benefits.
Here are just a few of the benefits of a regular yoga practice:
Decreases Stress and Anxiety
Yoga can greatly improve mental health. Studies have shown that yoga decreases the secretion of cortisol (the stress hormone). Yoga decreases stress, anxiety, and may help fight depression.
Improves Sleep
This study showed that yoga helps people fall asleep faster. As students become more aware of their bodies, they learn to consciously relax tension in their muscles. There are also many benefits to the nervous system that help students shift from "fight or flight" mode into "rest and digest".
Improves Flexibility and Balance
Research shows that yoga increases flexibility and balance, which can help prevent falls and injuries. Yoga helps to improve range of motion, making it more likely that students can remain physically active over time.
There’s no question a yoga practice will improve your health,
the only question is how to start a new habit and stick to it.
That's why we incorporate behavior science into our approach. We help you understand your habits and how to begin to shift them. We celebrate baby steps. We focus on what you CAN do.
Yoga is a holistic approach.
It's not just about diet and exercise, but also about thoughts, emotions, beliefs and relationships.
We take personal transformation seriously. And thankfully the ancient yogis did too, and outlined a comprehensive system to realize optimal health on the physical, mental, and spiritual levels. Yoga is an eight-limbed system, and postures (or Asana) is only one of the eight limbs. So in addition to the physical exercise part of Yoga, we also teach the spiritual philosophies and ethical framework that makes the system so powerful. This information is universal, meaning it describes basic laws of nature that apply to everyone. We strive to make the teachings accessible to all, regardless of faith or belief system.
Learn to get in sync with Nature's Rhythms.
Discover the secrets of Ayurveda, the sister science to Yoga.
Ayurveda means "the science of life" and is a profound system of lifestyle practices that explain the foundations of health on all levels. Learning to work with your body's natural circadian rhythms has a deep impact on digestion, energy levels, and psychological outlook. HYC incorporates the daily lifestyle routines from Ayurveda, making this program a comprehensive and transformational health program.
Our Approach
There are so many different styles of yoga classes out there these days, and many are very fitness oriented, and driven by a desire to make the body look better. I wanted to offer something different, a program that would help students not just improve the health of their physical bodies, but also help them feel more freedom and experience more fun and creativity in their daily lives.
Think of HYC as a friend that will help you get started on an exciting mind/body/spirit healing journey. We want to help you make long-term, sustainable changes to your lifestyle that will support optimal health. HYC is a trusted source of credible health information that is both backed by science AND grounded in the ancient wisdom of Yoga and Ayurveda.
