Hatha
This summer give yourself the gift of yoga! These classes will explore
the different asanas with the emphasis on function, core strength,
posture and alignment to encourage flexibility, stability, coordination
and balance. We will include holding poses (yin yoga) and flow poses
(vinyasa and sun salutations) as well as a deep relaxation (yoga
nidra)
at the end.
Instructor: Sue Bovenizer
Yoga Fundamentals
Participants will gain a strong foundation in classical hatha yoga by
learning basic yoga poses, breathing techniques, and relaxation.
Building upon this foundation, participants will have the opportunity
to explore other styles of yoga, such as restorative, vinyasa, and
power yoga. This class is recommended for beginners who are interested
in trying various styles of yoga practice.

upon
participants’ abilities, but will be designed to challenge students
to
achieve new levels in their practice while working mindfully with the
body.
Emphasis will be placed on proper alignment, breathing, and finding
balance
in the practice of yoga.
