Our 2012 schedule will feature a few new classes and the addition of a new teacher, Junko Hanzawa. Like many of Yoga Tree teachers, Junko studies with Maty Ezraty and Chuck Miller, and their approach is reflected in her teaching. Beginning on January 15, Junko will teach Vinyasa Level 1-2 on Sundays from noon to 1:30 p.m.

David France will also have a new class: Freestyle Vinyasa Yoga on Mondays from 11:30 - 1:00 p.m. Freestyle Yoga is David’s original way of teaching movement and the balancing of energy. This unique class is dynamic and engaging, and offers students the opportunity to deepen their understanding of body, mind and health.

Lastly, please note that our Monday evening class will change. Starting January,  Mikiko Yatabe will teach Hatha I-II from 7:30 - 9:00 p.m.

On Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings from 6:30 - 9:00, Maneesh Kalra conducts an early morning practice based on the “Mysore” approach of Chuck Miller and Maty Ezraty. Many morning-practice students adhere to the Ashtanga Primary sequence, but everyone is welcome to do their own self-practice. For students new to yoga or seeking to learn alignment-focused, breath-centered hatha yoga, Maneesh offers hands-on instruction. Drop-ins are welcome. The cost is ¥2,500 per class, or ¥12,000 for a monthly pass.
NOTE: In the event of a full class, priority is given to pass holders.
