Alignment Yoga

Join Alignment Yoga

With experienced Iyengar Yoga instructor, Jessica Lowry. Classes at the Saltair Community Centre offer the experience of the transformative practice of Iyengar Yoga. With a focus on alignment, carefully curated sequences adapted to each body, and the gradual instruction of nourishing inversions (or alternatives), these classes are designed to cultivate strength, flexibility, and deep full body/mind equilibrium. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced practitioner, each session supports your unique journey.

Classes are held every:
Tuesday and Thursday from 10–11 a.m.
Tuesday Zoom session from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Monday evening class from 6:15 to 7:15 p.m.

Align with Jessica’s flexible 8-class pass allows you to drop into any session, making it easy to fit yoga into your schedule.

One student shared:
“I have been practicing Iyengar Yoga under Jessica’s guidance for the past three years, attending her classes twice a week. Over the course of 35 years, I have learned from many teachers, but Jessica stands out remarkably. Her expertise is unparalleled, and her ability to weave support and kindness into her professionalism makes each session joyful and enriching. Jessica’s vibrant personality and fun approach to teaching significantly enhance the learning experience.”

You may remember the Saltair Centennial Celebration in 2010. Historical storyboards were developed that told the stories of original families in Saltair. The Society has looked after those story boards, and they will be on display at the open house for all to see again. People loved viewing these boards and visiting with the other original Saltairites. Please join in and reminisce with old friends.
