frequently asked questions and answers
What is Viniyoga?
As described in the April 23, 2001 edition of Time magazine:
"viniyoga...is the most highly customized form of yoga. Viniyoga teachers cater stretching positions to individual student needs and abilities. Function is stressed over form, with an emphasis on integrating the flow of movement of the breath with the movement of the spine."The viniyoga approach to yoga is highly adaptable, meditative, and coordinates movement with the breath. This approach is uniquely healing and can be used by people of all levels and physical abilities, including those with limited mobility.
Can I do yoga if I'm not very flexible?
Absolutely! Although yoga is great for everyone, the people who can benefit the
most from it are those who aren't very flexible. At Whole Life Yoga, we specialize
in adapting yoga to "real people" who would like to gain strength, flexibility,
and peace of mind.
Where are you located? Where can I park?
At 8551 Greenwood Ave N Suite 2, which is 3 doors south of Tully's
(directions & maps). There is
limited parking in our garage which can be accessed via 87th St. Please park only
in spots marked "Reserved Retail Only." There is also street parking on
Greenwood and 87th Street, and an inexpensive pay lot across the street on 87th behind
the China Jade restaurant.
What should I bring and wear?
We will provide yoga mats & blankets, so all you might need to bring is a bottle
of water. Wear loose, comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely.
I'm new to yoga - how do I start?
All of our classes except "Flow" and "Intermediate" are
appropriate for beginners. A great way to learn the basics is to take our 6-week beginner series "Yoga
for Real People ®", or our "Immersion for Real People".
