Yoga Tree of Evanston

Yoga is an ancient system of meditation and movement that enables us to unite with divinity by teaching awareness, integrity, and compassion. Yoga Tree of Evanston teaches lyengar Yoga, which is a method of instruction set forth by living yoga master B.K.S. lyengar of India. Mr. lyengar is the author of many classic texts, including Light on Yoga. His teachings are deeply grounded in the ancient yoga tradition, and his intense practice with over 65 years of teaching has produced significant innovations.

Among the most noteworthy are:

1. An emphasis on standing poses to correct alignment and resolve structural imbalances.
2. Use of props to enhance learning and modify poses for people who have physical limitations.
3. Proper sequencing of postures for general and therapeutic benefits.

Yoga Tree of Evanston meets in a fully equipped, state-of-the-art yoga room on the 2nd floor of the Church House (Room #205). Eight 90-minute classes are offered each week, divided between two levels: Beginning and Continuing. General Classes combine both levels. Meeting times are as follows:
