Transformation with ease, grace, and awareness is how we interpret gentle here at The School of Gentle Yoga. Whether in a vinyasa flow, matching breath with movement, or in a restful restorative pose where you move away from the body and breath into the stillness, gentle is a way of being with yourself that gives you access to your greatest depths – to your truest Self.
Every body benefits from time spent in gentle practice. When we slow down, move with the breath, and honor our body and mind in each and every movement, we gain access to what’s beneath the busyness, and stress, and distraction of daily life, and move back to our true nature of Harmony.
It is our purpose to train and teach in a way that brings Harmony to the world, one body, breath, and mind at a time.

Years ago when I began my yoga journey, I had little understanding of the enormous benefits of the practice, and even less idea how to find a good, safe teacher to practice with. When I consider now what I wish I knew then, this program is exactly that!
Taught by Yoga Therapist, Teacher, and Trainer Dannette Mason, this new series begins January 19th.
For an aspiring practitioner of yoga, there can be many barriers to beginning a regular, committed practice.
Fear
Of pain or injury, of being out of place, of choosing the wrong class/teacher, of not doing it “right”
Perception
Beliefs that you are not flexible enough, not in good enough shape, don’t have good enough balance, or that yoga is only for young, healthy people
Accessibility
Cost, location, time, props
Ultimately, the thing that inspired me to continue to show up was not how I looked when I practiced, but how I felt.
Yoga is a practice of accumulation. The more you practice, the more you realize the vast benefits the practice has on all aspects of your life – health, wellbeing, relationships, mindset, and more.
This program is designed to give you the experience and comfort to enable you to feel confidence in choosing the best classes and practice for you.
