YOGA

The goal of this class will be to challenge students with strength, flexibility, and balance poses leading to a more relaxed state of being. A brief explanation of yoga philosophy will be given so that there is some understanding of breath and movement as it relates to yoga poses. This course will include the basic yoga poses. Beginning with a 3-5 minute centering exercise to focus the mind and body, the class will move into sun salutation poses to warm up the major muscle groups. The class will continue to build on these poses requiring more strength anf flexibility and end with a final relaxation pose. Modifications and/or more advanced poses will be incorporated into the class as needed.
