In the heart of the Quartz Creek Valley, where the echoes of history meet the stillness of the wild, we invite you to find your center. Held within the walls of a historic 1898 saloon turned fine art gallery, The Art of Alignment is more than a yoga class-it is a weekly sanctuary for those seeking purpose, precision, and presence in this remote landscape. Every Tuesday morning Terrible Mountain Gallery transforms into a space of intentional movement. Surrounded by curated art and the rugged beauty of the Fossil Ridge Wilderness, these sessions offer a rare opportunity to practice in a setting that honors both the creative power of the human spirit and the stark beauty of the natural world. Led by Desirae Penton-Crosley, Dragon Asana is rooted in the philosophy of the I Ching, where the Dragon represents Creative Power. This method combines exact alignment with mindful inquiry, guiding you through a practice that is both disciplined and deeply attentive. Whether you are a local resident or a traveler passing through our high-country home, these classes provide the tools to cultivate resilience and lasting transformation on and off the mat.
