Yoga Programs

Palm Yoga offers students two programs to grow and maintain their health:

Yoga for Beginners program (YFB)

The Palm Yoga YFB program is the best program in Tampa Bay for people that are new or have limited experience with yoga.  We teach a proven curriculum that covers all the basic yoga poses as well as basic breathing techniques.  In our YFB program, you are not just put into the poses.  We teach you how to move your body in and out of each pose safely.  You will learn the proper alignment for each of the basic poses and, if necessary, adjustments that make it comfortable and appropriate for your body.  Most people stay in this program for six to twelve months before moving into our Intermediate program.

Intermediate program

Our Intermediate program is a natural progression from the Yoga for Beginners program.  In this program, we build on the basics learned in our YFB program.  In addition to exploring the basic poses on a deeper level, we learn deeper backbends, inversions and seated forward bends.  We also learn other pranayama (breathing) techniques as well as partner yoga work.  This program gives you the opportunity to come to class more often so you continue to develop your strength and flexibility.

Both of the Palm Yoga programs include the following benefits:

• member discounts on workshops and special events
• members-only events
• guest passes for family and friends
• e-newsletter

Our studio welcomes students of all levels.
Palm Yoga’s instructors strive to make everyone feel comfortable while learning and experiencing new ways of stretching the body. Whether you are looking for weight loss, stress relief or a deeper connection to life, Palm Yoga offers you a way to achieve your desired goals.

Class Schedule (January 1 - May 31, 2010)

*Pre-registration required

Class Preparation

Please come to class with an empty stomach. Please refrain from wearing heavy perfumes or colognes.
Appropriate attire includes comfortable clothing such as leggings, shorts or sweat pants and a form-fitting shirt or tank top.

Private Lessons

Private and Semi-Private classes are available by appointment.

Private sessions are available for those who have a specific goal in mind or want to learn at their own pace.    Many people that are new to yoga will begin with a series of private lessons and then transfer into our Beginners program.  Another popular option is taking private lessons during pregnancy and post-partum to address specific physical and emotional needs.  Privates and Semi-privates (two people) are available by appointment only.  You will leave the session with “homework” to practice at home until your next session.  A discount is available when a series of privates is purchased.
