Class Descriptions
Please allow yourself enough time to arrive at Yoga House before classes are scheduled to begin. For your own safety and in consideration of others, there is no admittance after the first five minutes.
+ Gentle Yoga
Breathing, gentle stretching and deep relaxation characterize this practice designed to very gradually build flexibility, strength and focus. Gentle Yoga is recommended for beginning students wishing to start out more slowly but can also be of great value to students of any level seeking relief from stress in a profoundly relaxing experience.
+ Beginning 1
A basic practice specifically designed for beginners with an emphasis on learning the fundamentals of yoga at a slower pace, step-by-step. We recommend Beginning 1 to most new students as the best way to safely establish a familiarity with the poses before continuing on.
+ Level 1
Build stamina, strength and flexibility in this class offering a moderate to high level of challenge. While Level 1 does not include advanced poses, it is characterized by a faster, more demanding pace and is recommended for continuing students.
+ Level 1-2
An intermediate practice introducing more advanced asanas as well as longer vinyasa (“Flow Yoga”) sequences.
+ Level 2
Advanced postures and challenging vinyasa (“Flow Yoga”) work. Recommended for experienced students.
+ Level 2-3
Explore your edge in our most advanced practice. Recommended for experienced students.
+ Iyengar
This system of yoga was developed by the brilliant teacher and innovator B.K.S. Iyengar and emphasizes precision, sequencing and subtlety. Recommended for students who appreciate attention to detail and in-depth work, a typical Iyengar class will feature multiple repetitions of a given pose, helpful demonstrations and longer holds.
+ Vinyasa
Also known as “Flow Yoga,” an exhilarating series of postures that flow one into the other. Recommended for students who enjoy a more movement-based, aerobic style of yoga. With an element of dance as well, Vinyasa classes often include music.
+ Ashtanga
The challenging Primary Series of classical vinyasa-style yoga as taught by K. Patabhi Jois. Ashtanga consists of a set series of poses done in a sequence that does not vary. Regular practice can yield an astounding self-transformation. Recommended for continuing students.
+ Core Power Flow
Build strength and condition your body in this vigorous practice. Recommended for experienced students.
+ Restorative
Transformed through the use of props such as blankets, bolsters, straps and blocks, the poses of Restorative Yoga deeply rejuvenate, calm and relax. Although not as physically demanding as a typical yoga practice, Restorative Yoga carries its own set of challenges and is recommended for continuing students.
+ Yoga for Arthritis
A therapeutic class to gently open the joints, lower inflammation and maintain and enhance mobility.
+ Challenging Conditions
Yoga adapted to benefit those living with MS, Chronic Fatigue and other challenging conditions.
+ Therapeutic Yoga For Cancer
Yoga to reduce the negative effects of stress associated with chemotherapy and radiation treatments. (Free for those living with cancer.)
+ Pre-Natal

+ Post-Natal
Post-natal yoga offers rejuvenating postures for new mothers. Newborns welcome!
+ HIV/AIDS
Adapted poses, gentle movement, meditation and breathing to support the immune system. (Free for those living with HIV/AIDS, their partners and caregivers.)

THERAPEUTIC YOGA FOR CANCER
with Farzaneh Noori
Every Wednesday, 12-1pm
One is never prepared to receive a diagnosis of cancer. It is a tremendously stressful experience that affects both the person receiving the diagnosis and their family. Inevitably, there are the accompanying emotions of denial, anger and depression which lead, finally, to acceptance, where healing can begin. Therapeutic Yoga for Cancer, a regularly-scheduled class offered free of charge at Yoga House, has been specifically designed by instructor Farzaneh Noori to address the many challenges -- both physical and psychological -- that face those who have been diagnosed and are undergoing treatment for cancer. Each class offers a synthesis of several natural healing modalities: restorative yoga; gentle yoga; breath work; meditation; and hands-on healing, all of which promote a state of deep relaxation which enhances the body's ability to heal itself. This special practice is also intended to help soothe the stresses associated with chemotherapy and radiation treatments. No previous yoga experience is necessary. "Having gone through cancer myself," says Farzaneh, "I am grateful to have had yoga in my life. Two years after my diagnosis, I feel my yoga practice has helped to bring me back to a state of health and ease. It is with the intention of making yoga's therapeutic benefits accessible to others with cancer that I offer this class to our community."
This class is offered free of charge to those with cancer.
FARZANEH NOORI is the co-founder and owner of Yoga House, the oldest and largest center for yoga in the San Gabriel Valley area. She is a certified yoga instructor with over 25 years of practice and teaching since 1998 to a broad range of students. In the course of her training, Farzaneh has studied with some of the world's most highly-regarded yoga teachers. She has received certification in asana, pranayama, anatomy and yoga philosophy from Tias Little; White Lotus Yoga from Ganga White and Tracey Rich; and Yin Yoga from Paul Grilley. In addition, she has studied extensively with Kofi Busia, Julie Gudmestad and Jill Miller. Most recently, she received a certificate in Therapeutic Yoga from Cheri Clampett, the Founder and Director of the Therapeutic Yoga Training Program. Known for her expertise in teaching pre-natal yoga, Farzaneh focuses on the various healing aspects of yoga in all her teaching: freeing the body, the breath and the flow of energy through practicing with awareness and compassion.

Private Instruction at Yoga House
One-on-one instruction can deepen your practice, facilitating breakthroughs in ways that aren’t always possible in a group setting.
Private lessons can help you:
Learn to work through obstacles in specific poses you find difficult
Gain insight into your unique structural issues through hands-on adjustments and personal feedback
Receive personalized instruction with undivided attention and observation
Work with chronic injuries or pain
Learn to adapt poses for your specific needs
Develop an individualized personal practice with professional guidance
Complete beginners can also benefit from private instruction, safely learning the basics in a more private setting.
It’s easy to set up private lessons at Yoga House.
Just call us at (626) 403-3961 and we’ll arrange everything!

Yoga Etiquette
A few guidelines for maintaining a peaceful, productive and harmonious yoga environment!
+ Get Me To The [Yoga Studio] On Time
In consideration of other students and for your own safety, there is no admittance to classes after the first five minutes. Arriving on time for class benefits everyone: you’re able to experience the entire “arc” of the practice your instructor has prepared for you, while your fellow students are not disturbed by the inevitable noise created when tardy students enter the classroom.
+ Silence Is Golden
If you must arrive late to class but are within the 5-minute grace period, please make every effort to minimize any noise as you enter the classroom. If the class is sitting in a beginning meditation (as is often the case), it is best to wait quietly at the entrance and lay your mat down on the floor only after the meditation has concluded.
+ This Mat Is My Mat / This Mat Is Your Mat
We recommend you bring your own mat to class with you. If you don’t wish to own your own mat, rental mats are available at Yoga House for $2, which includes a sanitary wipe. A yoga mat doesn’t only provide a hygienic, cushioned surface with good traction on which to practice: it also demarcates a student’s private space within the classroom. Please do not step on other students’ mats unless you are given permission.
+ I Just Called To Say I [Don't] Love You
Nothing can disturb a yoga class more than a cell phone ringing in the classroom. Please leave your phone in the lobby along with your shoes, and silence the ringer as you would in a movie theater.
+ The Shadow Of Your Smell
Everyone in class breathes the same air. In consideration of others – many of who may be allergic – please refrain from or minimize wearing perfume or cologne when you plan on coming to class.
+ How Sweat It Is To Be Loved By You
If you happen to be someone who perspires heavily, please bring a hand towel with you to class to “mop up.”
+ There's A Kind Of Flush
If you need to use the restroom during class, please use the one located in our lobby, rather than the one located in the classroom, which should be used before or after class only.
+ My Way
Although you may be just itching to do a Headstand while your teacher is instructing Shoulder Stand, when you’re taking a class, please be respectful: don’t improvise by practicing alternate poses without asking the teacher’s permission.
+ Don't Stand So Close To Me
Please be considerate of others and refrain from taking classes when you have an active cold or flu.
