This workshop is for those new to yoga and interested in starting a regular practice or for those who have been away from their yoga practice and want to begin again. Learn the basics of yoga to cultivate a fun, safe and rewarding yoga practice. This workshop series will help you gain confidence, so you will feel comfortable taking classes in any setting.

We will explore both the mental and physical aspects of meditation, breathing techniques, and foundational yoga poses. Participants will receive personalized attention and receive customized yoga pose variations to make even the tightest person feel comfortable.  You do not need to be young, athletic and/or flexible enough to twist your body into pretzel shapes to practice and fall in love with yoga. Simply be willing to show up, breathe, and move.
