In addition to asana (posture) instruction, this class is infused with yoga philosophy, brief meditation and pranayama (breathing) practice. Compassionate and skilled teachers emphasize proper body alignment and awareness, and use of breath for integration and release. Sustained postures promote strength, flexibility and the ability of the body to recover from day-to-day stresses. Classes are tailored to meet the needs of the individual student for that day. Appropriate for all.
