Commitment & Lessons
What you can expect from Lara Farks Yoga
I recognize the privilege I hold as a white cis-gendered female yoga teacher and I act in the following ways to dismantle white supremacy and systems of oppression both in and outside of my teaching…
As a teacher, I am continually a student. After every class you’ll receive a short survey to deliver any feedback about your experience with the option to keep it anonymous. I love learning from your experiences and will honour what you share.
My commitment to you I’ll offer:
Classes aren’t about pretensions, confusing analogies, or “performance yoga.” Expect to receive clear directions, learn about yoga philosophy, practice breath-work, observation, and learn to create relaxation from within.
All classes are created to empower students to make educated choices about their practice and their bodies. Students are encouraged to have agency and choice throughout every session.
Lara “Farks” Farcasan is a certified 200 hour level specializing in Hatha Yoga which continues to inspire her teaching style over her 8 years leading classes. Farks has continued to pursue her interest in yoga by training in Hot Yoga, Yoga History, Philosophy and Yin Yoga.
Class Styles

A guided relaxation that promotes internal awareness, deep relaxation, and rest. Perfect for times of stress, fatigue or when unable to practice more active yoga styles.

A passive style of poses held for long periods of time (from 1 to 5 minutes or more) to access the connective tissues of the body. An excellent compliment to any active lifestyle, Yin yoga reduces stress and tension in your body and mind by taking some time to slow down, relax and reflect.
Moving slowly through flows of classic postures, expect to build strength, flexibility, and your ability to relax. Each class is perfectly balanced to harmonize your inner and outer body alike. Suitable for beginners and experienced students alike, this class is sure to bring bliss to anyone.
