North Alabama Yoga Company

NAYC is a locally-minded studio where the relationship between the teacher and student is highly valued. Kerry Porter (owner) and Malisa McClure offer classes suited for almost everyone: prenatal, postnatal, gentle and beginner's, as well as all levels and intermediate classes. The studio is open 7 days a week with prices affordable for all.

Kerry teaches Breath Centered Yoga, usually called Vinyasa Yoga. This approach links posture with breath and encourages each student to practice integrated patterns of breath, movement and awareness from the beginning. This system works well for new students, even in cases of limited mobility and injury. Kerry also offers more vigorous sessions and Master Classes for those with athletic goals. All are welcome.

Malisa is certified in Sivananda Yoga and ALL of her classes are $5-7 per session. She emphasizes mindfulness in her practice and teaching, building the practice from the integration of breath, body and mind. She encourages students to honor their bodies, entering into poses in careful, well thought out ways. She offers monthly Beginners Workshops for those looking to get started, or brush up on the basics!
