Classes

KaoriYoga Tree has classes for students of all levels. Our daily schedule includes English, Japanese and bilingual classes, and classes in various styles of yoga, including both traditional forms of hatha yoga and modern expressions of yoga, such as classes that combine yoga and Pilates and classes directed at runners and triathletes.

Many of our classes are “all-levels” classes, meaning that they’re suitable for beginners and have aspects that will challenge more experienced students. If you are completely new to yoga, we recommend starting with Yoga I, which teaches the basics of hatha yoga and meditation. From time to time, we also offer short Foundations of Yoga courses, which offer an introduction to the physical practice, meditation and  philosophy of yoga.

Our All-levels Vinyasa classes are also suitable for beginners. These are active classes with an emphasis on flowing from pose to pose while linking each movement to the breath.

Our Hatha classes are all-levels classes taught according to the style of the teacher. In general, these classes have less movement and more focus on alignment than Vinyasa classes.

For intermediate-level and above students, we offer Vinyasa II and special classes, which are called either Vinyasa III or Hatha II - III. For special classes, read the details on our Home page.

We also offer Ashtanga classes in English and Japanese. These include led primary, led half-primary and  foundational classes.

Our schedule also includes Yin, Stretch, Restorative and Prenatal yoga classes. For details on any class, click the name of the class on our online schedule, or write to us via the Contact button on this web page.

Attending Classes

Please arrive 15 minutes before the class starts to give yourself plenty of time to change clothes and prepare to practice.

In consideration of the teacher’s and other students’ time, there is no late admittance to class.

Feel free to challenge yourself. Never feel forced to attempt poses you are not comfortable practicing.
Remember: Yoga is intended to alleviate pain, not induce it.
