This class explores many poses, and emphasizes proper alignment. The class is calming and gentle paced, and will allow you to gradually build strength, increase flexibility, and reduce the effects of everyday stress. Gentle assists and the occasional use of props (wall, straps, cushions, blocks, etc) allow your body to safely relax and deepen your postures while advancing your yoga practice.
