Waaaaaaaaay back in the day I attended a school to become a yoga teacher. Long story short, I discovered I’m happiest being a practitioner. However I learned what makes a great yoga teacher: it’s not about memorizing the names of asanas in Sanskrit (although it’s certainly cool), it’s knowing about the physical body and how it works. I’m always reluctant to take up practice in a yoga studio when the teachers clearly don’t possess any formal training on physiology--there is nothing scarier than putting your body in harm's way because a teacher is too busy waxing poetic on some hippie-speak about yoga. Dora and Regan are great teachers. They don’t just know the yoga asanas, they know what it means to connect them to the physical body and how postures affect specific muscles, tendons, and joints in the body. More importantly, they both know how to be in a posture without taking yourself too seriously. They don’t expect every student to be the next Sivananda, they're just grateful to lead you through what will be a great way to expand your body and connect with your spirit.

A beautiful studio ; kind, helpful, and knowledgeable staff, and a nice community of friendly folks to practice with. The intro class on monday night's is great for anyone just starting out and interested in learning more about yoga, or people looking to get back into their practice after some time away. The mix level classes are challenging but grounded in yoga philosphy, so you are encouraged to practice your practice, and honor your body where you are TODAY. The room is heated, but not crazy hot, and there are private changing areas and a shower on site. So glad I found Spira :)

amazingly beautiful studio. if you are looking for yoga to energize you from within, welcome to spira! you will find very strong instructors. your first class is free. come in and be open to the possibilities of how your body and mind can transform.
