About the Class

Free to Attend!

Free to attend! Alignment-based and heart-centered, these classes will explore the intersection of dance and yoga on both physical and philosophical planes. We will focus on breath, somatic awareness and mind-body connectivity all while honoring the individual self and playfully enjoying being in the present moment. Some of the movement concepts may look or feel like dance, and some of it may look or feel like yoga.
