Fundamental Yoga Class every Wednesday with Carolyn!

This is an amazing yoga class for true beginners, as well as the seasoned Yogi/Yogini! The Fundamental Yoga class delves into the art and complexity of each asana (pose), breaking it down piece by piece, layer by layer. The focus is on alignment, correct posture, and technique. This allows the student to understand the pose in depth; structurally, while gaining knowledge of the physiological aspects of a pose! Class begins at 6:30 pm and meets each Wednesday evening thereafter, same time, same place!
