Philosophy

There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.
Dalai Lama 

Who are We?

Yoga Nine is a professional mind-body studio which aims to promote community health by providing a variety of classes taught by the most highly trained and experienced teachers. Yoga Nine is dedicated to providing community outreach through educational programs, volunteer efforts in our "fair trade store & cafe", Buddha Body. Yoga Nine engages in a number of community service and fundraising projects all aimed at supporting local charities.

Our Philosophy: Above all, life is about enjoyment. Yoga Nine is dedicated to helping each client achieve their personal goals and improve the quality of their life in a fun, noncompetitive, and community-centered environment. Hang out with us. Our facility is designed for laying back! Our instruction is personalized and hands-on.

How do we do it? Yoga Nine provides a full array of classes in Yoga, Pilates, Body Rolling and other therapeutic modalities. Classes will be available to all segments of the community no matter their fitness level; including children and seniors, and those living with chronic illness, and physical and developmental disabilities.

      Classes: The yoga program honors many traditions, offering work in a variety of styles ranging
                        from meditation, to gentle assisted practice using props (Kripalu and Iyengar), to more
                        rigorous styles (Ashtanga, and Vira Vinyasa). Yoga Nine only employs instructors who are
                        highly qualified, participate in continuing professional education, and are all dedicated
                        students themselves.

     Complementary Medicine: Yoga Nine encourages the growth of a healthy community. In this effort,
                        a variety of holistic/alternative services will be made available through the facility by
                        appointment. (Nutritional Counseling, Herbal Medicine, Reiki, Physical Therapy,
                        Therapeutic body work, Ayurvedic Counseling, etc.)

     Community Outreach: Yoga Nine also seeks to promote community health through volunteer
                        outreach programs, fundraising efforts, and educational programming. Yoga Nine will also
                        house fundraising efforts for the local community. Our Community Coffee Campaign
                    
    provides ongoing fundraising and volunteer information for 9 local charities.

      Fair Trade: Yoga Nine will house a "fair trade" store, Buddha Body featuring products by
                        local artists and artisans, and others created through cooperatives around the world
                        which support impoverished communities. All other yoga props and clothing sold in the
                        store are "sweatshop free." We are also a member of the Green Studio Association
                     
  and make continuing efforts to provide products made from renewable resources
                        and organic materials.
