Read MoreThis class is a blend of the slower, more gentle, aspects of hatha yoga with the dynamic movements of flow classes, where postures lead from one to the next. This is a really nice way to gently introduce yourself to flow yoga styles. You will get an introduction to basic yoga postures that will help you develop strength, balance, flexibility, and increase concentration and inner calm. Slower movements, simpler poses, and modifications are encouraged. All body types, ages, and skill levels welcome. We do recommend letting the teacher know if you are in the early stages of your yoga practice so they may offer additional alignment cues.
