Yoga
In an intuitive yoga class, you never know what to expect! Each class is tailored towards the needs of the students present. This tends to be a gentle to moderate yoga class in which we focus on foundation, alignment, and hands-on adjustments so that participants can practice yoga poses gradually and learn to deepen them based upon their unique body and physical history (injuries, vertebral health, health conditions, etc.)
Classes last approximately 45 minutes and include, grounding and centering, warm-ups, strengthening poses, releases, and a short meditation/relaxation session insvasana (corpse pose). This is a perfect class for all levels of participants, but can be especially appropriate for those with limitations due to surgeries and/or chronic health conditions who are looking to ease back into or create a new physical practice for themselves.
Dates: April 8 - May 8
Monday and Wednesdays, 4:00PM-4:45PM
Cost: $10.00 per class, Call Teri Mattek for additional information, 335-5259
