Welcome to Impact Yoga Studio!
Impact Studio provides a unique combination of classes designed to enhance physical, mental and spiritual development.

Yoga and guided movement promotes nervous system recovery, focus, and reduces risk of injury.
FIND YOUR FLOW
Choose from a variety of yoga styles designed to meet you where you are.
Yin Yoga
Yin is a very passive form of yoga, focusing on the deepest tissues of the body, including ligaments, joints, bones, and connective tissues. Requiring longer, deeper-held poses, Yin yoga works the lower portion of the body—hips, thighs, lower spine—with a short duration of the practice focusing on standing poses. During each asana (position), your muscles are relaxed to avoid spasms and stretched to increase flexibility.
