Not your typical yoga class!! Do you wonder if you are doing the pose right? Does it hurt when you are in a pose? This two-week workshop is focused on postural structure, alignment, breathing, and finding comfort within a pose. Our time together will consist of getting into poses, receiving feedback, making adjustments, to gaining deeper awareness within our bodies. Bring your yoga mat, props and burning yoga pose questions or concerns. Together we can find the adjustments that get your practice flowing and create a newfound body awareness to take off the mat into your daily life. ***Please bring your own yoga mat.
