YOGA 101: A FOUNDATIONAL SERIES

with Amy Hagan

4 Tuesday Evenings:

January 10th-January 31st   |  6:00PM-7:30PM

Have you wondered about yoga but been hesitant to try it? 

Yoga offers many gifts, and flexibility isn’t necessary to reap the rewards – which include stress release, deeper states of relaxation, normalized blood pressure, relief of minor back pains, and a balance of strength and flexibility. Most students who practice yoga regularly notice an increase in vitality and an overall sense of well-being.     Whether for fitness, as a relaxation technique, or as a stepping stone to higher awareness, yoga has the inherent power to make a profound and positive difference in your life. In these workshop-style classes you will learn the basics with modifications for your personal needs with plenty of opportunity to ask questions.     

This program includes the use of yoga props.
