• Learn breathing exercises to strengthen the lungs, relax the body, and find peace of mind.

• Learn proper alignment of yoga poses, build strength and increase flexibility during gentle yoga flow sequences.

• Learn how to release chronic pain, correct poor posture, identify habitual negative muscle patterns, and stimulate the brain/body connection with somatic movement.

• A brief guided meditation will be offered at the closing of each class.
