Vinyasa Yoga
In this all-levels class, you will move slowly and meditatively between poses following the breath. Focus will be on breath and alignment, breaking down poses and offering props to allow each student to find the right version of a pose for their body. Slow Vinyasa is designed to create softness in your body, relieve unwanted tension, and stress, inviting a deeper understanding of mind-body-spirit connection while improving flexibility, muscle tone and circulation.
