Our grounds:
If you are looking for a small, quiet setting to take your yoga lesson, Red Elephant Yoga Studio is the place for you. Surrounded by a lovely wooded area, our studio is located behind our home. There is a calming garden entrance that you are always free to enjoy before or after class. Additionally, we have built a meditation garden you are welcome to visit. Pleasant water features are interspersed around the garden that have places for individual meditation, including the zen gravel garden where you may rake patterns into the small stones or sit on a bench and simply relax. Another garden path takes you down to benches for two to relax or have a quiet conversation with a friend. And a single stool by a bamboo water feature permits you to enjoy the sounds of gentle dripping water.
Our studio:
The studio and the classes are small to insure more individual, caring attention to you. Class size does not exceed 8 at any given time. We provide mats, firm wool blankets as well as softer ones for covering you during the final relaxation; bolsters, belts, scented and unscented eye pillows, wedges, and specialty rolls for those areas that may need additional support such as the neck or the knees. Please feel free to join us any time by telephoning for availability. Due to small class sizes, classes fill quickly.
Our store:
When you enter, you will find an array of yoga products for sale including various sizes of mats, yoga books and relaxation CDs recorded by Charlotte to help you with your own home practice. Charlotte also has her own line of unique, one-of-a-kind jewelry and bath/body products for sale. For your convenience, you may also shop online.
Refund policy:
A refund, less $20, is available until 3 days before first class; less $25 plus any PayPal charges if incurred until second class. No refunds thereafter, and no credit carried forward to next session.
