Yoga Basics: Establishing Your Practice
This 6-week yoga session will begin with basic breath and posture geared toward helping those who have never done yoga learn the absolute beginnings in order to develop their own yoga practice. Each class will last one hour, and instruction will focus on controlling the breath, assuming safe postures, and moving from posture to posture with the help of breath. All students are welcome, and this class is suitable for young and old, from the everyday exerciser to the couch potato. Bring a yoga mat, a face towel, a bottle of water, a positive attitude, and any other equipment you think will help you feel more comfortable and get more out of your practice. Wear comfortable clothing that you can move around in. Instructor: Ami Blue
