Recreation

Acknowledgment

Mindfulness, yoga, and meditation techniques are ancient, spiritual practices, developed in South Asia over the last 5,000 years. We acknowledge the roots of these practices as we adapt them to our practices today. 

Welcome

A group of yoga participants kneels on their mats with their arms raised as their instructor does the same in front of them.Mindfulness is the ability to pay more attention and connect to your body. Through skillful guidance in our classes, you will discover ways to nurture your body and mind and experience more moments of reflection, clarity, empowerment and connection in your daily lives.    
Physically, classes are crafted in varying intensities to encourage diverse spinal motion, release of stuck muscles, strength building, and overall well-being.
Mentally, classes are designed to increase attention span, amplify focus and build resiliency to stress.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
