Gentle Yoga - Session #2

$69

with Pamela Cates

Calendar Next available session starts Mar 11, 2025 at 5:30 pm, runs for 7 weeks

My teachings are grounded in the philosophy of Svadhyaya, focusing on leading students towards self-study and self-reflection. The aim is to nurture a personal practice that extends beyond the mat for each student. Anticipate a gentle session incorporating functional movements with occasional challenges. I encourage the use of blocks as tools to further enhance a personal practice. Some sessions will also incorporate ball rolling.

Please plan to bring 2 yoga blocks, a ball (tennis ball is perfect) and your yoga mat to each practice.

 

** No class 4/22 **
