This is an Adult Hatha Yoga class with options and modifications for all ages, body types and levels of experience. There is much to be gained by committing to a regular yoga practice.
Attending even one class a week without fail, helps you improve well-being and confidence. Set a regular time aside to create your own yoga routine at home!
There is a sense of community that develops when like-minded individuals gather, even virtually.
It is a chance to pause, become aware of your lifeforce and create an intention for practicing this ancient system of mindfulness ~linking the mind to the body and breath.
Doing Yoga for you means you can pay attention to what is happening each moment as you move, stretch, balance and flow.
We have the precious opportunity to be an observer, a witness to our own being. Discover ways to improve your flexibility and strength and to feel supported as others engage and practice in the same way.
