Gentle Yoga with Julie
Gentle Yoga every Friday from 9:30am-10:30am
Gentle yoga is a class structured around rejuvenating and healing the body. Includes foundational principles of alignment, mindful breathing, and yoga basics. Yoga props such as blankets, blocks, yoga straps, bolsters, chairs and walls are often used to allow the body and mind to feel stability and comfort in each position.
This class is held at a slower pace and focuses on stretching all areas of the body, while releasing stress and tension from joints and muscles.
