Yoga

Diverse benefits include: stress relief, vitality, focus, flexibility, mental clarity

Yoga was developed up to 5,000 years ago in India as a comprehensive system for wellbeing on all levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Today people use the physical postures to raise their quality of life in such diverse areas as fitness, stress relief, wellness, vitality, mental clarity, healing, peace of mind and spiritual growth.

This class is an integration of asanas (postures) from several disciplines of yoga and the Ashtanga Vinyasa system. The focus is on proper alignment, awareness through movement and breathing. While challenging, every posture is adaptable, and it is encouraged to always be mindful of your own bodyʼs limitations.

This slower paced practice emphasizes mindfulness of body and breath. I will introduce  variations in postures and breathing techniques. Exploration of the postures and your own body is encouraged.
