Shima Karate Dojo has built a dedicated yoga space, tucked away from the main training area, in order to serve the yoga needs of the dojo, the public and all other Karate lineages.

General Public:
Ages 12 - 99: learn to use your body better through yoga poses. Take a ½ hour or 1 hour lesson and learn how to apply the yoga principles of joint alignment to your everyday life at work and at play. Improved joint alignment allows for increased well being through better posture, efficient core usage, less pain, more ease and better breathing.
