Stepping into March -

Block or No Block? That is the question... -

It's likely that many students today believe that yoga props–blocks, straps, chairs, rope walls, sand bags, bolsters, and the rest–are relatively modern additions to yoga practice. They’re half right. The props just mentioned, with the possible exception of a strap and for sure the ropes, are ...

Do you know DeShauna? Her warm energy and bright smile are a great start to your morning. Her Thursday 9:30AM class is now a morning option to take the popular Flow & Restore.

The first half of class warms up with a dynamic Vinyasa flow, moving in and out of yoga poses, connecting breath to movement to build heat, strength and mental focus. In the Restore half you'll wind down the nervous system and gently soften the body using props, remaining in each pose allowing the body to release.

It’s almost Friday - give yourself a little zest to get moving and some softness to rest.
All levels welcome.

Y12SR (Yoga for 12 Step Recovery) blends the practical tools of the 12 step programs with the ancient wisdom of yoga. This class is a 12 step based discussion and yoga practice that is open to anyone dealing with their own addictive behavior or affected by the addictive behavior of others.

This combination recognizes that yoga is part of a holistic recovery program and provides tools to address the physical, mental and spiritual disease of addiction.

This is an open and inclusive group - all A's are welcome. Wear comfortable clothing.
Class is by donation.
