Yoga
Beginning yoga is a vinyasa-style class that builds strength, flexibility, and balance while flowing through yoga poses.  By moving mindfully and linking breath with movement, you will energize your body and still your mind, leaving the class with a calm, peaceful glow.  This class will focus on the basics of yoga, safely guiding the beginning student through the poses.

Advanced Beginner/Intermediate yoga is for the yoga student ready to move on from the slower pace of beginning yoga.  This class will offer more challenging poses but will still provide modifications to students at all experience levels.
