Hatha Yoga and Mindfulness - Monday at 9:30am--Starting January 21, 2019!
This class approaches yoga as a practice of mindfulness, the attentive unfolding and fine tuning of each moment. Each class explores the "music" of yoga--the rhythms of the body; the melodies of the heart; the joyful harmony of body, mind, and spirit. This practice also attends to breath and alignment as means of opening energy channels in the body and experiencing ease and comfort in the poses.
