Yoga Class Descriptions

New Students Introductory Beginning Yoga Classes

These classes are designed for those students who are new to Yoga. They are sequential and set a foundation for all of the other yoga classes. Students will explore many of the basic forms, principles of alignment, relaxation techniques, breathing practices and more. This class includes a 60 minute practice CD that reinforces some of these basic techniques. Some of our students like to repeat this series before moving on.
