Through a combination of gentle stretches, restorative postures, breathing (pranayama), deep relaxation, and meditation, we gently melt stress away. This all levels class is appropriate for every body, including seniors, in addition to students who simply prefer to move at a slower pace. Individualized instruction and modifications are given to accommodate students with chronic symptoms such as muscle or joint pain, stiffness, weakness, or fatigue.
