YOGA FIT
YOGA FIT offers an all-level well-rounded approach to stretching and yoga. Please have a mat, two blocks, and a strap. Each class addresses the whole body, from hamstring stretches to hip openers, back stretches and neck releases. Feel free to make requests or mention your old injuries and the teacher will incorporate stretches to help with your pain and tightness.
Classes incorporate both active stretching and passive supported yoga poses to provide the perfect balance between getting fit and surrendering into a blissful repose. Basic breathing, meditation and relaxation techniques will also be introduced. A perfect class for those seeking healing through yoga, increased range of motion, functional fitness, and stress relief.

-All-Levels Yoga: this all-levels class provides modifications for those with injuries or limitations as well as challenges for those seeking to up-level their practice. Expect to breathe, move, flow and experience a broad-spectrum of poses, with something new to discover each tim
