This yoga practice offers a variety of poses. We open with a short pranayama (breath) practice to connect our body, mind, and soul. Our asana (pose) practice begins with Yang to open our bodies for greater energy flow. We then go into Yin practice where we hold poses for a longer time while concentrating on our breath, especially beneficial for the joints of those who are athletic and aging. It is then followed up with a short restorative practice savoring the time spent on our mats before we end with savasana. This practice is designed to bring about better awareness and contentment for a more meaningful life. This is not a strenous nor highly active practice. Any modifications can be made to any pose.

A master yoga teacher makes this class accessible to beginning (novice) practitioners all the way to teacher's in training. There is something for everyBODY in this fun filled class.
