Her classes will introduce you to basic poses, focusing on balancing poses and introducing the Sun and Moon salutations. Yoga will improve your posture and provides a variety of other benefits, linking body and mind. Wear loose clothing. We will practice barefoot and you are asked to bring a yoga sticky mat or a towel for the standing and floor asanas. Pregnant women are advised to check with their doctor before attending any classes.
