Le Refuge Yoga classes are a welcome opportunity to work on (or with) a chronic condition, even with an injury, whatever your fitness level or age!
At Le Refuge Yoga we specialize in helping students whose ages range from the 30s to the 70s and even higher. Because we keep our class size small, we can observe and advise you on how to get maximum benefits from your practice, whether you seek relaxation, pain relief or spiritual progression.
Each of our classes include the physical practice of yoga - asana, as well as breathing practices - pranayama, and meditation, tailored to your needs.
If you have ever felt too out of shape or too old to take part in a class, we can promise that you will enjoy Le Refuge Yoga, where the emphasis is on gentle, healthy, therapeutic motions. Our head instructor, Claudine LaRochelle took up yoga because of physical and stress-related issues in her own life. You will benefit from her passion: passing on the benefits of yoga to others!
When people say they are too old to take up yoga, I say the older you are, the more benefits you may reap!

Message from Claudine
“Yoga gently breathed calm and comfort into my life when I was suffering unrelenting back and shoulder pain, a result of my corporate career. In order to pass the beauty of this healing art on to others, I have created Le Refuge Yoga, a serene Yoga studio in my own home, to share with you. I hope you will join me and explore this ancient practice: I promise you will be transformed.”
