Decatur Yoga And Pilates

Whether you are brand new or a seasoned yogi, you have come to the right place. We make it easy to dip your toe or dive right in.Welcome to Decatur Yoga. We have served the Decatur community and beyond for 13 years and we still love what we do. We were pioneers back in 2003 by being the first studio to embrace the concept of offering numerous styles of yoga under one roof. This new approach was well received, and since then, many studios have implemented this very same concept. Imitation is the best form of flattery. Our Mission Our mission is to provide a safe and welcoming environment whereby a student can: learn about the true essence of yoga through exploration, discovery, acceptance and understanding, in order to… progress in a calm, mindful and safe yoga practice to… become a strong, knowledgeable and discerning yogi or yogini. This beautiful evolution would lead this yogi or yogini to take their yoga off the mat into their everyday lives in order to…make the world a better place! Our Philosophy DY encourages a balanced approach to yoga, embracing a blend of styles and methods. Our instructors work with students at every level of experience, providing modifications for asanas (poses) as needed, helping them learn to listen to and trust the wisdom of their own bodies, and encouraging home practice to deepen the health and wellness benefits of yoga. All of our teachers are yoga alliance certified and are always evolving through continuing education and workshops to help keep their teaching fresh and inspiring.Classes often begin with setting an intention, relaxation and pranayama (breathwork), followed by a flowing series of asanas (poses) that range from gentle movements to a challenging physical workout. Conscious breathing, which creates a steady, energized presence, is coordinated with the various practices. Classes end with time for rest and integration.
