with Sheila Burns | Tuesdays 6-week class series from 7:15-8:30 pm | In-person
Class Series Members $125 Non-members $130

This class combines a breathing practice, a gentle flowing vinyasa sequence, a series of static postures for building strength and balance, and several powerful restorative postures. Throughout each class (and the 6-week series) we will practice several foundational postures of classical hatha yoga and their restorative variations with a focus on alignment. Experience the body's nuanced response when efforting versus resting in awareness. By the end of the workshop series, you will feel stronger, more balanced and agile, and more aligned in your body and your mind.

Handouts provided for each posture.

This class is appropriate for every level of practitioner.
