Yoga Yoga Studio

Walkups possible at all classes. Please come to the center 10-15 minutes before the class that you have chosen. You can sign up then. We have all the accessories and props for both pilates and yoga already at the center. Wear attire in which you can move freely (jogging pants, tights and shorts and a t-shirt). We have changing rooms at the center in case you are coming from work. All you have to do is arrive on time!

Classes in a friendly environment: YogāYogā Paris offers practices with other students of your level. We work in small groups, and the instructors will offer variations on a posture if there is a posture that is too difficult for you. Once you are enrolled, all classes are walk up and are filled on a space available basis without reservation.

Oliver Bell, RYT 500 hr, eRYT 200 hr I first started practicing yoga after a car accident when I was 17 years old. My introduction to yoga was a book by Richard Hittelman’s called the Yoga 28-day Exercise Plan. Over the years I have tried Iyengar, Ashtanga and other Hatha Yogas. I also have a regular meditation practice. I first became certified to teach yoga in 2007. I now study gentle yoga exclusively with Stan Hafner and Johanna Sullivan at Austin Yoga Shala (Austin, Texas). We study postures, sutras and yogic chant. My classes are focused on breathing and movement at the same time. This gentle, balanced practice consists of series of movements coordinated with the breath. Also called viniyoga, this practice supports good concentration, emotional stability and promotes overall health.

Philosophy…Mantras

• Yoga is a discipline.
• Yoga is about independence.
• Yoga is about moving, stretching, reflecting, being, breathing and philosophy.
• Every yoga teacher has something to teach a student.
• You will never be asked to do something physical that you can’t do.
• Take the yoga teaching with you, not the teacher.
• Learning yoga is a practice of listening and then doing.
• The practice of yoga is not about the applause when you reach the completed posture.
• Everything has a beginning, a middle and an end.
