Yoga Offerings
The school provides a range of yoga classes suitable for both newcomers and experienced practitioners. Aerial yoga is available, offering a fun and challenging variation. The approach emphasizes accessibility: flexibility is not required, and poses are adapted to any body. Classes focus on building strength, flexibility, balance, and relaxation, working the body against itself without external equipment. The studio welcomes students of all backgrounds, including those with specific needs, as reflected in reviews where a family with a daughter with Down syndrome felt supported and saw progress. The teaching style encourages mindfulness and tuning into one’s own body, consistent with the school’s philosophy that yoga is for everybody.
Holistic Services & Training
Beyond group classes, Davenport School Of Yoga offers a comprehensive teacher-training program led by Jeani Mackenzie and an experienced faculty. The course explores the evolution of Hatha yoga and includes a mentorship program to refine teaching skills. Additional holistic services complement the yoga practice: Reiki, a hands-on energy work to restore balance; Reflexology, using pressure points on feet, hands, and ears to stimulate healing; and Ayurveda consultations that address doshic imbalances through lifestyle and environmental awareness. These services align with the school’s mission to promote overall well-being. The studio’s long history and dedicated staff create an environment where students can deepen their practice or begin anew with confidence.
