Gentle Yoga with Kathleen Anderson
This class combines gentle movements with breath. Gentle Yoga is perfect for beginners as well as people with specific limitations and those recovering from injury. More experienced students who enjoy a slower paced class also enjoy Gentle Yoga. Classes focus on releasing tension, connecting with the breath and helping students gain strength and flexibility. Gentle yoga uses classical hatha postures with slight variations to accommodate all levels of yoga students. Outdoors under the trees next to the lake.

Yoga is accessible to more kinds of people than you might think so do not count yourself out because you worry about your flexibility. If you are able to move up and down off the floor and bare some body weight in your arms then you are an ideal candidate. By the end of our time together you will be able to feel confident jumping into any traditional Vinyasa class. We will cover a little bit of meditation, beginning postures, Sun Salutation A and B, and other common postures which you will frequently be asked to perform in a practice. You will also learn how to connect your movements to your breath which will help you to get the most out of your individual practice. Outdoors under the trees next to the lake.

A passive practice, Yin Yoga involves variations of seated and supine poses typically held for 3 to 5 minutes, accessing deeper layers of fascia.
