Tiger Lily Yoga

Specialties

«Those who are drawn to yoga begin a practice for various reasons. Many people practice yoga to supplement their exercise routine or as their main form of exercise. Yoga helps them stay healthy and feel well. Some come to yoga because they are unwell and are looking for a solution to their health problems. Others undertake the practice of yoga to gain freedom from stress, to calm their minds, and to manage the pressures of work and family life. To a few, yoga is a business or a profession. And some people consider yoga their spiritual path.» A.G. Mohan from Krishnamacharya; His Life and Teachings

Welcome to southeast Seattle’s new vinyasa studio, Tiger Lily Yoga. We offer an array of asana classes that coordinate movement and breath. Another name for this practice as «vinyasa» or «flow.» The poses in a vinyasa class are strung together in a sequence and tailored to the students. This creates an efficient flow throughout the class and teaches us to breathe, thus calming the entire body system.
