Yoga classes will begin with an initial breathing and centering session, followed by warm-up stretches and easy movement before delving into a variety of postures, also called asanas.  Postures consist of seated, prone, standing, bending, inverted, and balancing positions.  Yoga helps to develop and maintain our bodies’ flexibility and range of motion, build strength, achieve balance, and assist with our ability to focus and concentrate.  Various breathing techniques will be taught to increase lung capacity and facilitate greater assimilation of oxygen within the body’s blood and tissues.  There will be a guided-imagery meditation and full body relaxation at the conclusion of each class.
