UPCOMING CLASSES AND EVENTS
Holistic Yoga
Did you know that the heart of yoga is meditation? The physical practice of yoga (asana) and breathwork (pranayama) are tools designed to prepare the mind and body for stillness.
Grounded in yoga ethics, we’ll flow through 75 minutes of yoga postures to build strength and flexibility, practice 15 minutes of breathwork to regulate the nervous system and balance energy, and conclude with a 30-minute guided meditation to cultivate inner stillness. Beginners to the practice are always welcome.
