Yoga increases flexibility, helps heal injuries, reduces stress, and calms the mind. In this slow-paced and supportive environment, you'll examine the various poses and forms of yoga to help you decide which suits you best. The instructor will give modifications based on your body type and health. Great for beginners and those looking to review the basics. 

Tuesdays from 11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.

Take this time for deep relaxation. With the help of props (bolsters, blocks, etc.), you'll hold poses for longer periods. You will feel nurtured and rejuvenated, and better able to achieve deep rest and healing.
