Gain the knowledge and confidence to practice with ease, from the comfort of home. A self-paced course with Sarah Platt-Finger: four guided classes, 15+ short instructional videos, the eight limbs of yoga, breath, modifications for your body, and a bonus chair yoga flow.
Yoga isn't about keeping up with a class. It's about understanding and honoring your body's unique needs.
You love the idea of yoga: the balance, the strength, the inner peace. But stepping into a studio can feel overwhelming. Maybe you've tried a class but felt lost in the unfamiliar terms and fast-paced sequences. Maybe you worry about whether you're doing the poses "right".

Led by Sarah Platt-Finger, Director of Yoga Programs, it empowers you to develop a meaningful, adaptable practice that truly works for you.
