This series 'begins at the beginning'. It will provide new students with the foundation necessary to build a lifelong yoga practice and will inspire continuing students interested in deepening their practice and taking it beyond the mat. Coming back to the foundation from a new perspective can allow insights and recognition of subtleties. No prior yoga experience is necessary and people of every age and body type are encouraged to join us.

In this five-week series, we will explore:

Yoga philosophy and how it applies to daily living
Connecting with your breath
Yoga postures
Relaxation
Meditation

This series may help you to increase your body awareness, relax your senses, and calm your mind. You will finish the series with an effective understanding of the fundamentals of yoga and with the tools necessary to continue your yoga journey.
