A class that focuses on the basics of Hatha Yoga, inspired heavily by Iyengar Yoga. The "Discover Yoga" class seeks to introduce those who are new-to-Yoga to proper alignment. Through the use of a suite of props and modifications, we focus on proper alignment and breathing techniques to gain a solid foundation of the physical postures. Attention will also be directed to Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, and how the philosophy relates to day-to-day life. This class runs via drop-in, on an eight week cycle, each week cycling focus to a different pose category. Saturdays @ 11AM
