Focuses on creating balance in the body and mind while maintaining or developing strength and flexibility.

Meditation:  Move & Meditate

Meditation:  Meditation Made Easy
(90 min., $25, pre-registration required)

Meets on Zoom and is a workshop led by guest teacher Danny Brewington from Nashville. Explores a yogic concept deeply, provides three guided meditations, and allows time for conversation and Q&A.  Although each workshop serves as a standalone experience, the workshops are also part of a themed series. 

Yin
