Yoga

The essence of yoga is breathing, feeling, and listening to the body. Yoga postures are a series of physical positions deliberate in every movement, feeling into every muscle. Yoga improves posture, range of motion and strength; links movement and breath to improve physical health and decrease stress.  Every yoga class emphasizes correct alignment, proper breathing technique and relaxation.  Some classes may include sun salutations and more advanced poses.
