It is a good idea to try several different styles to see what resonates with you best. For those looking to stay away from the heat: Ra Vinyasa Level 1, Restorative, and Yin Stretch classes are a great place to start for new people to yoga. Restorative and Yin Stretch classes flow at a much slower pace, while Ra Vinyasa Level 1 is a bit more involved and is taught at a faster pace. For those looking to step into the heat: Hot Ra Level 1 is a good class to introduce you to the heated environment with a slower pace than Hot Ra Level 2. If you are a more experienced yogi looking to be challenged try Introduction to Ra Vinyasa Level 2, Yogalates, Ra Vinyasa Level 2, or our most challenging class Ra Strength.

Yoga has a myriad of health benefits. Breathing deeply keeps the mind focused, cleans out the lungs, and increases circulation, which oxygenates your entire system. Stretching increases flexibility, which can prevent injuries. Strength and muscle tone are the result of supporting your body weight in various poses. And, physical exertion of any kind is super important for stress reduction. Because of the concentration required, your daily troubles seem to melt away during the time you are doing yoga. These are just a few of the magical benefits of practicing the art of yoga.

You are welcome to participate in any class you'd like, but if you've never done yoga before we recommend first trying one or two classes designated as "all ranges" in order to learn the postures and alignment. A good place to start, for example, is Ra Vinyasa Level 1. Honor what your body needs and respect that if you end up in a class beyond your level it can be very distracting for other students.

Feel free to bring your own mat for any of our yoga classes or workshops. If participating in a heated class, you may also find it helpful to bring a bath-sized towel. We also have these items available at the studio for purchase and/or rental. Yoga mats and towels can be rented from the studio for $2 each.

Ra Yoga has changing areas, showers, and shower amenities available for you to use. In our changing area, we have a wall of shelving units which are also available for you to use to keep your belongings in during class. If you would feel more comfortable bringing certain valuables into class with you (wallet, keys, etc) , you certainly may do so.

Don't fear the heat! The benefits of practicing yoga in a heated environment are endless, however there are 4 points to be listed here: Warms the body to allow for deeper stretching without injury, Facilitates an excellent cardiovascular workout, Helps to detoxify the body through sweating, Weight loss. Being in the heat may be a challenge in the beginning because most people are not accustomed to being in that kind of environment, and because most of us have an aversion to intense sweating. After a few classes however, most students begin to get acclimated to the temperature. Most students are surprised that they start to crave being in the hot yoga room - yes, even in the summer.

Convection heat is what you feel from air heated by warm air furnaces, heat pumps, and baseboards. The warm air is usually distributed mechanically.

Ra Vinyasa Level 1, Ra-storative, Yin Stretch, Meditation, Prenatal, and Little Ra-scals yoga classes are not heated. Intro to Ra Vinyasa Level 2 is a nice introduction to heated classes as it is gently heated. The hottest classes we offer are Hot Ra 1, Hot Ra 2, Ra Strength, and Ra Vinyasa Level 2. Our class schedule (under the "Classes" tab at the top menu) provides a feature through which you can filter classes based on the desired temperature range.

A friend stated that he works next to a granite milling company, which every 6 months throws all their granite scraps into the landfill.

Bobby receives a phone call that there are 2 tons of granite waiting for him to pick-up by tonight. This leads to panic, bewilderment and ultimately a pleading from Bobby to his fiance that she allow him to use her car to transport 2 tons of granite.

A storage company makes good money off of a yoga studio storing granite chunks at their facility.

A shop is leased to layout all the granite chunks. A hand chisel and special rock hammer is purchased at a local Home Depot. Jason Corley spends a week rotating granite pieces in various 360 degrees shapes to construct the tree.

10 pm - Craig (25 years in the business) states, "This is going to be the hardest project I have ever done." First granite branch in the men's shower area is set. Bobby learns about the magic that happens when water is added to a bag of cement dust and then 7 hours later it dries again and a bond takes hold between granite and cement floor.

10 pm - Handheld Angle Grinders are equipped with diamond tipped blades to start cutting out traces of branch outlines on stone tile so that these tiles can sit around the granite branches.

The neighbors behind Ra Yoga unite and call Ra to inform them of the noise level produced from cutting stone with an angle grinder.... Ra is mortified at the thought of not realizing how far the sound was carried and decides to rent a U-Haul truck which will be lined with rugs to dull sound and direct it all towards Bristol.

Grout is set. Trees are named "Urban Sprawl" - Men's Locker Room and "Heart Seeks Tree" - Women's Locker Room.

Jenny began practicing yoga on and off nearly 10 years ago. But it wasn't until her second knee surgery in 2004 that she got serious about her practice. She had found an amazing teacher who poured her heart into her teaching and made classes much more than stretching. Jenny aspires to offer her students this same kind of inspiration. In 2006 she began teaching yoga only because she was living in East Africa and had a yoga mat. Upon moving to Tanzania she started a small class at her language school just to get some exercise. She began teaching with no formal training and never imagined that teaching would become her path. For two years her students were the children who were part of the center where she worked and the relief workers that served them. This yoga class is still carrying on and is now taught by a Tanzanian. Yoga began as a community building experience for Jenny and that idea of community was her inspiration to begin her own studio. Jenny has trained with Corepower Yoga, Yoga Works and is a Ayurvedic Yoga Therapist through IAYT. She has studied under, Sarasvati Buhrman, Richard Rohr, Makunda Stiles, Jnani Chapman and many more. Jenny specializes in private yoga asana and yoga therapy.

Madison came to yoga after 10 years as a ballerina left her body injured and unable to move. It was yoga that brought her body and spirit back to life! It was out of a deep appreciation and love for the practice that she started teacher training; the first day of class, she knew this is what I was called to be. Madison's excitement for the practice is infectious and the number one thing she aspires to pass along to her students is joy. Joy for life, for movement, for their bodies. She received her 200-hour certification through CorePower. She is especially trained in Vinyasa flow and Restorative yoga and her sequencing is greatly influenced by her ballet and contemporary dance training.

My yoga practice began in 2010 with much resistance and persistence. During many classes, my body felt a little sick, sticky, and sweaty--- but it was my mind that felt a quiet sensation of stillness, a reservoir of grace and patience that slowly leaked through the walls of my uncertainty and stiffness. Eventually, the flow of yoga became my wave; an atmosphere to sink the doubts but the let the joy float evermore. It's crazy how simplicity becomes the complex patterns and pathways to the future: how ideas become spoken into words, and as the words become mental habits, then the goals are this very reality. My reality and goals manifested my yoga certificate (200hr) certificate in 2012. I'm grateful and yet, still humbly surprised by what yoga teaches me mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. I see this path to be a catalyst of transformation, a strong current in the sea that pulls and pushes only if you resistthe act of letting go actually saves you from drowning. I also love arts and crafts, planting botanical arrangements, and furthering my education to become a holistic nurse.

I was born in the San Francisco Bay Area and have been in Orange County for about 10 years. I began practicing yoga when I was 20 and fell in love immediately.

Stacey's love for yoga began over a decade ago. Being diagnosed with ADHD at a young age (blah!) , her refusal of meds led her and her parents to the exploration for alternative methods to channel her exuberance of energy. Soccer, basketball and lacrosse helped but something was missing. In college, she was looking for balance in the intense experience juggling classes, a soccer scholarship and the calling for a deeper connection to her spirit. After her first yoga class, where she was able to explore the variety of sensations physically, mentally and emotionally, she knew she was on to something. Her insatiable love for travel and life has taken her on some fabulous journey. While embracing her playful gypsy soul, yoga has remained a constant and accessible grounding source in her life. Her commitment to meditation has allowed her to reel in her energy and give it focus. Honoring present moment awareness and mindfulness, her natural connection with children is undeniable. Always knowing her life work was to be with kids, her own practice allowed her to see where she was needed most. She believes that everyone has their own true north star, that is as unique and individual as they are. Her dedication to making children feel good about themselves inside and out is weaved into her unique class thru movement, meditation, self expression and a lilt bit o magic. Working with children 4-74, her Mary Poppins style is sure to leave you feeling connected with your highest good and knowing your best is always enough. In addition to RA, she thanks Smiling Monkey Yoga, Jabulani Yoga and The Center for Living Peace for allowing her to shine bright!

Her classes emphasize proper alignment, and she is happy to nerd out on asanas with you anytime.

Bobby's history as a yoga instructor is yet to begin, but his experience with the daily practice of yoga began circa 2008. His background as a corporate strategic planning analyst within the stressful confines of the cubicle world left him seeking relaxation and escape. As with most healthy things in his life, about two years after making a New Year's resolution to start practicing yoga, Bobby entered his first class on a Saturday morning. Being completely unprepared, he had a bagel and two cups of coffee prior to class; needless to say how that experience went down. Since then Bobby has learned to rejoice in the physical, emotional and spiritual challenges yoga has presented to him. These lessons through yoga have proven to be applicable throughout all facets of his daily work and personal life. Now to start the fresh decade, he hopes to share these lessons in a community where all can find a solution through yoga. As the saying goes, "you have to give it away to keep it" and I want to give it away.

In an effort to connect clients to teachers, Ra Yoga created a "karma exchange" which is a custom wood piece where student can leave bits of karma to their teachers. This idea was born out of concept that teachers give so much to their student and students don't always have a clear venue in which to reciprocate this love. Below is a virtual edition of Ra's in-house karma exchange.

Yin-stretch is a passive yoga class focused on deep stretching of the connective tissue that makes up the tendons, ligaments and joints of the body. Where muscles need fast active stretch, connective tissue needs long, slow, deep stretch. Yin postures are seated or lying floor postures, held for 3-5 minutes. You'll balance out the body, as well as bring stillness and peace to the ever-active mind. A perfect way to balance your more active classes/workouts! This practice is another great non-heated yoga class. Babysitting is available for $8 per child or $30 for unlimited per month

When a mother gives birth to her baby, a great bond is created. This bond can be further cultivated and nourished through a yoga practice involving mother/father and baby. Bring your baby with you to yoga and learn how to deepen that connection to yourself and your baby at the same time.

Mother/Father and baby move through poses together as the class is very relaxed and playful. Come and join other parents in your neighborhood and learn some conscious parenting techniques from an experienced mother and yogi. Babies should be between 0 to 3 year old.
