Join us for Yoga in January- Vinyasa Slow Flow, Tuesday, January 12, 7:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. 

Slow flow is a form of yoga where postures are held for longer periods of time and are typically modified to create an accessible practice for people at all levels of their yogic journey. The non-modified pose is also demonstrated so that the practitioner can decide the pose that they’d like to incorporate into their personal practice for that day. Prop usage is encouraged and vinyasas are usually at a minimum. This class is ideal for the beginner student or a student that is just getting back into their yoga practice after an injury or surgery.
