Yoga Center of Minneapolis

The Yoga Center of Minneapolis (YCM) strives to bring yoga to every body at any stage of life. At the Yoga Center, our classes will help you not only gain instruction in the many asanas of hatha yoga, but will also introduce you to meditation, pranayama (breathing), and centering techniques. If you’d like to deepen your knowledge in the philosophy of yoga even further, check out our Workshops, Beginning Sessions, Drop-in Classes, and upcoming Visiting Instructors.

The discipline of hatha yoga—the physical aspect of yoga—was originally developed as a vehicle for meditation. This system of hatha yoga prepared the body, particularly the nervous system, for stillness, creating the necessary physical strength and stamina that allowed the mind to remain calm during meditation.

Each quarter YCM offers a 40-page (recycled newsprint) publication featuring yoga articles and all the events and workshops and are happening for the season. Pick one up from either studio, or click to view online.
