Gentle yoga
Gentle Yoga offers a combination of postures coordinated with the breath, performed at a gentle pace. This class is great for beginner, or anyone looking to slow down. Connect with each pose, and explore its physical and mental challenges.
Slow Flow
Slow Flow is a meditative class that emphasizes peace and calmness of body and mind. Poses are held for a longer period of time to teach principles of proper physical and energetic alignment. The challenge in the class comes from holding postures for a longer period of time while steering consciousness to the awareness of breath and movement. Slow Flow is a great place to start if you are new to flow-style yoga or anyone wanting a gently paced class that still emphasizes the connection between breath and movement.
