Welcome to Yoga Arts on the Hey Marvelous platform. Yoga Arts offers formal training in Neelakantha Meditation as taught by Blue Throat Yoga. We also offer alignment and movement-based, physical yoga that is accessible and effective for most anyone who wants to learn and improve. In our experience, people of any age and in almost any physical condition, can benefit from alignment, movement-based yoga, steadily building strength, flexibility, balance, breath capacity and reducing stress levels. Neelakantha Meditation is taught separately. It is an easeful, natural and effective practice anyone can learn. When you sense your own growth and improvement, through physical yoga or meditation, it is self validating and motivating for continued, rewarding practice. Please review the memberships, drop-in option and Neelakantha Meditation course. Consider signing up for what's right for you.
Regarding the alignment and movement based yoga memberships, in addition to the in-studio classes, which are streamed on this site — should you be out of town or unavailable to attend in person at the studio — each membership includes a video library of all of the recorded classes. Your library also includes short "Deep Dive" and "Yoga Refresh" videos to be enjoyed at your convenience.
About
I am Preston Whaley Jr. I am an authorized Neelakantha Meditation teacher and also a Yoga Alliance, RYT 500 asana teacher. I've been teaching yoga for over 20 years. As your teacher, my commitment is to present knowledge-based, holistic and engaging yoga. Acrobatic postures and athleticism are not the focus, though the offerings here will benefit those who enjoy athletic pursuits. Each Yoga Arts session is geared toward improving alignment, strength, joint support, agility, flexibility, balance and breath. The higher goal and reward of teaching is helping to instill more deeply the pleasure of movement, generosity of breath, enhanced body-mind awareness and a greater understanding and experience of Yoga. More recently, after many years of practice and study, I have become a Neelakantha Meditation teacher as taught by Blue Throat Yoga. I am grateful to be able to offer Neelakantha Meditation to students. It is easy to learn, deep and auspicious for living life.
