Iyengar Yoga in Ferndale, WA: Classes and Private Instruction with Meg Sutton, CIYT

Welcome, and thank you for visiting. I am a certified Iyengar Yoga teacher and a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant. I have been practicing and teaching yoga since 2003. I love to share the benefits of yoga with others and I hope you will join me on this path to create balance, wholeness and joy through the art and science of yoga. The word yoga, comes from a root Sanscrit word Yog, which means "to yoke" or "to join", and in this practice the body is used as a tool to align the mind and create space for the spirit to flow freely. My mission is to create a nurturing, safe space for others to experience all that yoga has to offer, close to home, in Ferndale, WA.

Enrolling in and showing up consistently in class can be exactly what you need to begin the process of befriending your body and making space for self-care in your life. Private lessons, on the other hand, can be used a tool to deepen your commitment to the spiritual and physical discipline of yoga, AND to work on your specific challenges and growth needs. I am looking forward to supporting you on your journey, no matter where you are right now - we can always begin again!

Online classes:

Online classes are a fun way to stay connected to your yoga practice and your yoga buddies. You will still receive excellent, even personalized instruction - and you get to do it right at home! I'm available via email, phone or a private zoom meeting to answer questions and help keep your practice moving forward. We need yoga in our lives more than ever right now . There are so many benefits to regular practice - stress reduction, immune support, mood enhancing and it creates another channel for us to connect with ourselves and others.

Private Yoga Coaching

If you are ready to invest in your practice and yourself, than you may be ready for private coaching - or lessons tailored directly to meet your needs and your interests. I love to work with people individually and to use yoga to dynamically solve challenges in our lives. Yoga is a very effective change agent, and works to help restore our energy and shift our movement and thought patterns, making room for growth. There is no prerequisite for private lessons or "coaching." Some students may choose to do a few private lessons then enter into a group class, and others continue the coaching sessions to stay on top of their physical and mental health. If you have a chronic illness or injury, or specific health concerns you would like to address, private coaching is a great place to start. I look forward to helping you develop the strength and confidence you need to get to where you want to be!
