"Our modern lives are often fast-paced, over-stimulated, and stressful. Yoga should be the antidote to that, not more of the same." -- Nicole Becker, Yoga Therapist/Founder
The meaning of "Ojas"
Pronounced with a hard 'j' like in the word juice, Ojas is a Sanskrit word used in Ayurved (traditional Indian medicine) referring to vigor, vitality, and resilience. Along with 'prana' (life energy) and 'tejas' (radiance), it is one of the main life forces considered essential to well-being and longevity. Strong Ojas results in happiness, radiant health, and wisdom.
Yoga that nourishes
Much modern 'popular yoga' is taught and practiced in a manner that feeds our ego, punishes our bodies, and actually depletes our vitality. At Ojas Yoga Center we promote principles and practices to help you re-build and maintain your essential reservoir of health. We specialize in heart-centered practices, slowing down, connecting with breath, nature & each other, and cultivating self-acceptance, natural joy and friendliness.
A sanctuary for deep wellness
Ojas Yoga Center opened in 2010 as a sanctuary for deep wellness. We honor the depth of Yoga by offering a complete Yoga practice (movement, breath, rest and meditation) in a quiet, clean and sacred setting. We honor each person with a practice that respects their individual needs. Our beautifully appointed studio has bamboo floors, eco-friendly yoga props, lots of natural light, a view of the sky and hills, and is filled with the healing energy of kindness and fresh flowers. At Ojas you will find a genuine welcome, unpretentious calm, and a place where you are allowed to connect with your whole self. Our classes, workshops and special events are carefully chosen to bring you the depth of care you are craving.
Recommended by your health professionals
There is plenty of research that suggests yoga practice can help you reduce pain and stress, heal and prevent injuries, and contribute to your general sense well-being. Ever wonder what kind of yoga the experts are citing in this research? (hint: it's not the crazy hot sweaty kind!) It's the therapeutic Hatha Yoga like what we teach at Ojas. We have great relationships with local chiropractors, physical therapists, acupuncturists, nurses, and massage therapists who all regularly recommend Ojas to their patients. In fact, they practice at Ojas too!
