Diane follows a program of continuous learning and development so that she is positioned to ensure that her students receive the maximum benefit and knowledge from their yoga practice.
Tuesdays – 9:30-10:30 Gentle Yoga
This is a softer, more gently paced class that is meant to cultivate an internal meditative experience while stretching and recharging the body. Gentle yoga is less strenuous and best for beginners, or those looking for a calm class that incorporates breathing, postures and movement. There will be some strengthening, balancing and stretching poses. I also like to introduce a new breathing technique each week. A great place to start if you are new to yoga!
Tuesdays, Nov. 12-19 FREE!
