Yoga props can aid in the taking of yoga poses. Yoga props can also educate the body to create greater muscle awareness and allow students to deepen their poses. Props will enhance your yoga experience and create greater effectiveness of the asanas. I've spent a lifetime thinking of myself as hopelessly uncoordinated and awkward (and nearly every gym teacher I ever had made it a point to reinforce this belief).
I didn't think I could ever belong in a yoga class, even though I've wanted to try yoga for years. I must have driven past The Family Yoga Center for a year before I worked up the nerve to attend a class. From the very first session, Jennifer made me feel welcome and supported, but more than that, she made me feel like I belong.

Jennifer is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced instructors on Long Island with a strong background in alignment, anatomy, and modifications. She’s a yoga teacher for the wisdom seekers, the nervous beginners, the recouping injured, the athletes, the aging, as well as the experienced yogi. Her classes are well thought out and planned (not shot from the hip). They are thematic and taught with intention. You’ll leave her studio feeling nurtured, stronger, healthier, and asking yourself, “How soon can I get back here?”.

This is the best studio! It is a place of peace and comfort and compassion. Wherever you are in your life, your abilities, you are met and encouraged. If something doesn't work for you, there is a Plan B and a Plan C and so on until you and your body are able to adjust and move and accomplish what you can. Everyone is supported, no matter what their own abilities or accomplishments are. I highly recommend taking yoga at the Family Yoga Center!
