    • Everyday your body will feel and respond differently. It's normal.
    • One of the best qualities we learn is to be patient with yourself.
    • Progress is not about how easily you can touch your toes, but by how mindful and present you are while practicing.

  • Yoga mats
    • Perfect Balance Yoga provides yoga mats for new students. However As a commitment to your practice and
      for personal hygiene, we recommend that you purchase your own mat.
    • We recommend that you don't buy common PVC(plastic) yoga mats made from toxic chemicals,
       they don't perform as well as natural mats and may "gas-off" during use.
    • We have environmentaly friendly, high quality mats at the studio for sale.

  • About Teachers
    • Depending upon teaching style, some instructors may offer physical adjustments to your posture in class.
      This enables the teacher to help enhance your practice.
      It's OK to let them know if you prefer not to have the adjustments.
  • Arrive fragrance free

    • Find time to practice at home, even if it is for only 15 minutes.
    • Be aware of your posture throughout the day.

    • Yoga can be as easy as taking five deep conscious breaths, just because.
    • Keep your yoga practice fun & easy spirited.
  • Practice on an near empty stomach.
    • Allow 2 hours digestion or more after a meal. Dont eat before you practice!
    • Yoga is much better on an empty or near empty stomach.
    • Drink plenty of room temperature water after class. Only sip if you need to during class.
  • Attend the level of class suitable for your experience or recommended to you.

Perfect Balance Yoga

Giovanni and Joanne bring their years of passion for yoga together with warm and inviting surroundings to provide students of all abilities a beautiful studio to practice yoga in.

Their ideal is to create a nurturing oasis that will encourage the growth of each student’s yoga, increase personal energy and promote a lifetime of wellness. We promise to offer only the highest level of service to every customer. We make every effort to offer a variety of classes with quality instructors to insure our student’s satisfaction in finding the right class for their ability, style and practice.
We delight in being respectful of the environment, respectful of cultural influences and the global effect of any products that we make available. Any products offered in the studio are distinguished by their high level of quality and solid value. We will offer a portion of any earnings to selected charities several times each year, charities that our students help us select.

In this fast paced and modern world we strive to keep our yoga as pure and simple as yoga has been for over 5000 years.

Namaste,

Joanne & Giovanni.

  

Happiness is a yogi's warm lap!
