This eight-week course serves as an introduction to the practice of Hatha yoga,
which is the yoga of the body. Each class consists of being led through
centering and warm-ups, performing basic postures and breathing techniques and
being guided into a period of deep relaxation. The teacher provides verbal
directions as well as physical demonstrations. You start where you are, there
are no pre-requisites in terms of strength or flexibility. Modifications are
suggested for those needing to adapt due to physical limitations or medical
conditions.

Class description
Anyone who is not comfortable sitting or kneeling on the floor can receive the benefits of yoga. Chairs are used for sitting as well as for support in standing.
The instructor guides students through warming movements, yoga postures, breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques - all without straining sore hips or sensitive knees.
Joint opening exercises and tension relieving stretches are included with strengthening and balance components. Classic yoga experiences such as sun salutation, down-dog and resting pose are adjusted to avoid lowering onto the floor. Each class is energizing as well as relaxing.
