Welcome to Yoga Moves
in St. Petersburg, Florida!

At Yoga Moves we strive to uphold the ancient healing art of Hatha Yoga. Class size is small to ensure more personal guidance from our experienced teachers. With our therapeutic approach, emphasizing self-care and self-healing, you will gradually begin to shed old negative patterns responsible for stress and dis-ease, and begin to awaken physically, mentally, and spiritually.


What to expect:
Most of our classes run 1.5 hours. In this time you are encouraged to work at your own level. Always inform the teacher of any health concerns. Breathing, stretching, and toning the body/mind leads us on the path to health and well-being.
Please be on time; the downstairs door must be locked during evening and weekend classes for security. You may arrive early and use the inversion table or hang out and read and relax.

 



Yoga Moves offers a safe comfortable, peaceful, environment away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Step into our room with gleaming hardwood floors surrounded by blue sky and painted clouds. Instantly you will feel at home. Take a deep breath and relax. At Yoga Moves we focus on classical Hatha Yoga. Check the schedule and call with any questions. We look forward to meeting
you.

 

Which class is for you?

All Levels Yoga. This is open to everyone. Deepen your practice with detailed alignment.

Beginners Gentle Yoga. Start where you are. This class is suitable for the absolute beginner as well as students with some physical challenges who perfer a slower class. We will explore the basic alignment principles, breathing exercises, meditation techniques and philosophy to guide you towards fuller richer life.

Beginner Yoga with Tara: I strive to inspire others on an endless journey with the openness of a beginner’s mind. Together we aim to balance our strengths and weaknesses so that we can meet in the middle and be our best. My practice incorporates all 8-limbs of Yoga to bring wholeness as well as asanas or postures to restore the body from the long workday.

Intermediate Yoga.Iyengar says "how can I teach you to stand on your head if you cant stand on your feet." For those students who have learned the basic alignment principles of tadasana and are ready to explore some more advanced poses including inversions, standing, and seated as well as more advanced pranayama and philosophy. If you are ready to move to the next level of practice ask your teacher if this class is right for you.

Intro to Yoga. Learn what Yoga is about and how it can improve your life! It includes a brief lecture about Yoga history, its benefits a short, gentle session, and Q&A.

Lunchtime Yoga. Take a "time-out" to refresh and recharge in this 60-minute class. Reduce stress, increase flexibility and calm the mind through dynamic movement in sync with conscious breathing.

Pre-Natal Yoga. This is a practice of opening the body, heart and mind in preparation for birthing. We will incorporate modified Hatha postures and meditations from Kundalini Yoga. The inspiration for this class arose out my own experience of Yoga throughout pregnancy. All levels of Yoga experience are welcome.

Mindfulness Meditation. A warm, comfortable gathering where we will practice sitting and walking mindfulness meditation, guided meditations, and a Dharma teaching by Fred Eppsteiner, with an opportunity for questions and answers.

Restorative Yoga. This is a deep practice of letting go. Careful positioning with the use of props help to support the body in gentle passive back bends, forward bends, twists and inversions, completely allowing the student to sink deep into the body/mind. This is suitable for all levels. It is often used when deep healing from illness or emotional stress is needed. Aaaaahh!
