Gentle Hatha Yoga

About this event

What if you gave yourself permission to simply slow down? In this class, we move through classic yoga postures at an unhurried, intentional pace. After nearly twenty years of teaching and studying different styles of yoga, I always find myself returning "home" to this: using breath combined with slow, mindful movement to melt away physical and mental tension. For me, yoga isn't about fighting my body; it's about listening to it. That’s the spirit I bring to this class. When you join me, expect a healthy dose of playfulness and humor and absolute permission to be exactly who and where you are. There’s a quote I’ve held close to my heart for years: "Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are." I hope this class gives you the space to remember who you are when you let go. "Gentle" doesn't mean "less than" - sometimes, choosing to slow down is the strongest practice we can choose. I can't wait to welcome you to the mat.
