Class Descriptions
Gentle Yoga
All levels, beginners through experienced
A gentle, but complete yoga experience. Suitable for all including those with physical limitations. Chairs available as needed.
Beyond the Basics
All levels of experienced yoga practitioners
Beyond the Basics classes are ideal for those with prior exposure to yoga. The content of each class varies, building upon the basics. You may hold poses longer, flow through sequences, learn special yogic breaths, and/or experience more challenging variations of common yoga postures. Your energy will be renewed as you become stronger and more flexible. You will find that Beyond the Basics classes leave you refreshed and relaxed.
Each WYC teacher offers this class in a different way depending on their personal style and on the students that are in the room.
