Mindfulness and Yoga
Mindfulness is the ability to pay more attention and connect to your body. Through skillful guidance in our Yoga classes, you will discover ways to nurture your body and mind and experience more moments of reflection, clarity, and empowerment in your daily lives.
Physically, classes are crafted in varying intensities to encourage spinal motion, the release of muscle tension, strength building, and overall well-being.
Mentally, classes are designed to increase attention span, amplify focus, and build resilience to stress. Purchase the Rec Class Pass to experience our offerings!
