This workshop is designed to help you be a healthier and happier YOU! Yoga is all about union using our breath as our guide. Simply learning to breath properly will enhance your mental and physical wellbeing. The asana practice will strengthen and tone the body and create greater focus, awareness, calmness and harmony. You will also be purifying your body of toxins and residual tension that is stored in every muscle and cell. Negative patterns of thinking are also addressed and discarded. Final relaxation allows you to move into deeper relaxed states creating peace of mind and the ability to respond not react to the stresses and frustrations of life.

These classes are for anyone and are conducted with an emphasis on fun and safety. You are encouraged to let your practice unfold using the breath, not force. Modifications will be given for each asana to accommodate your level, or should you have existing injuries. Join us for a unique yoga experience designed to create contentment and bliss, by getting out of the mind, and into the body.  *Sign up today and reserve your spot.
