top ^history and mission
Discover Yoga was established in 1997 in the Stonehouse bookstore in Redmond. Since its inception, the teachers and staff have been committed to serving our students through instruction of yoga postures and breathing techniques as well as the history and philosophy of Yoga. In the tradition of Sri Krishnamacharya, (father and teacher of TKV Desikachar) our instructors have learned to adapt each class to the needs of the students. This provides opportunity to begin at any level and deepen your practice with each class you attend.
Mission Our mission is to introduce people to the world of yoga, to offer classes and workshops that enrich people's lives, and to make a positive contribution to our local and global communities.
During your time at Discover Yoga it is our intention to guide you to the door of your personal journey as you discover this ancient art and science of movement, breath and meditation. As you continue to practice Yoga, you may begin to experience the profound changes that affect how you see yourself, others and the world around you. This transformation is at the very heart of Yoga.
We hope you will join us, step by step, on this path of self-discovery through the joy of Yoga.
top ^What to Expect when you visit
We are located on the 2nd floor of the Mills Music building in downtown Redmond. There are two parking lots, one on the north and south side of Mills Music, that you can park in. We have a large and small studio. Both are air conditioned. They are carpeted and spacious with a second story view of trees and sky. We provide blankets, bolsters, pillows, blocks and mats. We also provide cups and Crystal Springs water.
Wear comfortable clothes to move in. Eat sparingly up to 2 hours prior to class and drink enough water to be hydrated. Please do not wear perfume. We are a breathing center and people may be allergic to the scent. If you would like to use your own mat, please bring it. You may also want a water bottle filled with water for during or after class to stay hydrated.
Classes are based on hatha yoga. We offer classes in the viniyoga tradition. Each instructor offers his or her own personality, compassion, experience and knowledge to the classes. Our instructors will adapt each class to the needs of the students.
When you arrive, please leave your shoes, coat, purse (with cell phone turned off) and any other belongings you will not need during class in the entry way. On your first visit, we will ask you to complete a Student Information Form. On subsequent visits, please sign in at the front desk. Class passes are available at a discounted price.
To set up for class, the instructor will sit in front of the sun salutation art work. We ask all the students to sit in a circle with the instructor. The circle allows everyone to see each other. Choose your props and locate a place in the circle. If it's your first visit, please gather a mat, blanket and pillow before you sit in the circle.
To begin the class, the instructor will ask each person what they came to class for. The instructor can then determine the yoga practice appropriate for each individual and the class as a whole. If at any time, you are uncomfortable with a posture or technique, we encourage you to adapt or ask the instructor for an adaptation.
We hope you feel the benefits of your yoga practice linger.
