A message from Audrey Walzer, Yoga Center Owner & Director:

You’ve found us!
This means you are interested in learning more about yoga… what a great start… …because what makes me really sad is when people tell me they “can’t do yoga.” They’re too stiff, too fat, too injured, too athletic, too old, too busy.. and more! Our Camarillo Yoga slogan is: Yoga is for Every Body, because it is!

Yoga is not only for the flexible and young, and yoga practice changes, depending on your body & mind today, at this time in your life. Camarillo Yoga provides classes which will benefit you, regardless if you are “too whatever.” From group classes where the median age is 85 years, to athletic power yoga and therapeutic one-one-one sessions- if you really want to practice yoga, we will give you everything we’ve got, and I guarantee, you will feel it working, both physically and emotionally.

The other sad comment is: “I tried yoga; it wasn’t for me.” Not all yoga is the same! If you tried yoga at a gym or other venue where the teacher was moving at a fast pace and everyone was following along just trying to keep up, give yoga another chance, with us. We teach you yoga. Obviously, any yoga practice requires patience and persistence, and you will feel like a beginner at first, by definition, but… it’s worth it. Yoga is one of the only physical activities you can do which is not an end in itself, and instead a tool to help you do the other things you like to do, from sports to travelling to general life activities, with more physical ease and greater mental clarity and emotional balance. If you think yoga is only for “new age woo-woos” or for bendy women… read our teacher descriptions… we are regular people, just like you, and we have all found yoga to be a gift in our lives.

Camarillo Yoga is not an anonymous workout center. We are a community of people who enjoy one another’s company, enjoy practicing together, and welcome newcomers with a smile and a helping hand. Scroll through our pages here to find out more, and please feel free to call or email me with any questions. We are looking forward to sharing yoga with you!

Nathan’s Family Needs Your Help!

Nathan is an 18 month old boy with brain cancer. He is currently receiving chemotherapy, and his condition is stable. Nathan’s family has had a very rough go of it financially, with medical costs related to Jake’s illness, in addition to supporting their 10 year old daughter & 16 year old son. I know that all of our Camarillo Yoga students and friends are incredibly resourceful, energetic and giving people, and I am asking you as a favor to me, to do what you can to help Nathan and his family. Anything you can contribute along the lines of the list that follows would be incredibly appreciated. You can drop off the items anytime at the Camarillo Yoga Center… even if we are in class, just put your donation inside the door; we will not mind being interrupted. Donations will be taken to the family every Friday.
