Whether you're new to yoga or want to strengthen your understanding of the practice, this Intro to Yoga series is designed to help you feel more confident, comfortable, and supported in your yoga journey.

• Over the duration of the series, we'll explore foundational poses, sun salutations, and modifications step-by-step. We'll break down the different props offered at the studio and how to use them to support your body. We will also explore breathwork techniques to help you feel grounded and present.

• You are welcome as you are! No experience required. There will be plenty of time for questions, to explore the poses in your own body, and build community within the class.

• This series is for you if you are brand new to yoga and looking for an introduction, returning to yoga after time away, or wanting to further your practice by understanding the foundations.

Week 1- Foundational Poses

Focus on basic poses you can expect to find in many yoga classes, modifications to fit your practice, the use of props with each pose, demonstrations of poses, and assistance with alignment.

Week 2- Finding your Inner Warrior

Continue to learn foundational poses with a focus on crescent and warrior poses. We will be breaking down the poses, offering modifications, explaining any props that can be used, demoing, and assisting with alignment. At the end of class you will be guided through a short warrior flow you can add to any home practice.

Week 3- A Salutation to the Sun and Moon

The most dynamic of the three. We'll explain what a 'vinyasa' is, break down and practice; sun salutation a, sun salutation b, and moon salutation. Just like in previous weeks, we will address modifications, props, and alignment.
