The beginning of a yoga journey is a special time.

Learn the fundamentals of common yoga poses and gain a greater understanding of modifying poses, and your practice, to meet your personal needs. In addition to covering yoga poses, the 3-hour workshop includes an opportunity to learn about breathwork, a brief explanation of yoga philosophy and styles of yoga, and a gentle flow to practice newly learned yoga skills.

HELPFUL TIPS:
Wear comfortable clothing you can easily move around in and bring a refillable water bottle. There is a bottle filling station located in Leap’s lobby. You can bring your own personal yoga mat and/or props that you like to use. If you don’t have a mat, Leap Yoga has loaner mats and mats for purchase available. All other props will be found in the studio and are available for your use. When you arrive at Leap Yoga Folsom, a staff member will greet you at the front desk, assist with checking you in, and show you to the studio. We ask that all yogis remove their shoes and leave them outside the studio as it is a sacred space. Cubbies to store all other belongings can be found on the back wall of the studio.
