this. In our classes we focus on the health of the individual by practicing rejuvenating therapeutic yogic exercises that may include stretching, posture, restoratives, conscious breath, mantra repetition, chanting, holding sacred gestures with the hands, and various forms of deep relaxation practices from a
variety of yogic styles including Hatha, Anusara, Kundalini, Viniyoga and others.
