YOGA CLASSES
Hatha Mood with Allie G
In this half hour yoga session we will move our body in every direction, pay close attention to our breathing, and focus on feeling great within your skin! You don’t need any yoga experience for Hatha Mood, it’s a practical and intuitive movement method. Please be very cautious if you are recovering from any serious pain or injury. See you on the mat!
BALANCING FREEDOM WITH Jona
Intentional movement has been a lifelong passion for Jona; they first met yoga as a newly developed fitness trainer concentrating on functional movement, or people with limited mobility. The flow during Coalesce From Home will focus on our personal relationship between strength and functional balance. The unity that is Yoga has inspired Jona to think, love and move more universally. They’re involved with grassroots non-profit organizations, like The Hubbard Collective, to highlight and attend to injustices endowed on underrepresented/served QTBIPOC communities. Let's flow together into the New Year!
MINDFUL FLOW WITH REIKA
Explore the subtleties within your practice as you flow with greater awareness through this mindful yoga class. This yoga flow will move at a slightly slower pace with more emphasis on learning alignment and reconnecting back with your body. Expect a thoughtful yoga flow where we allow space to be with your thoughts, breaths, and physical sensations as we mindfully transition from posture to posture.
