Tao Yoga

This is a slow-paced yoga class with aspects of the ancient Taoist traditions.

  • We focus on proper alignment and mental repose. Devoting more time to a posture, which naturally decreases stress and encourages relaxation.
  • This improves flexibility, supports muscle development and helps open up areas around the joints that are difficult to access (i.e. hips and lower back).
  • Also, since it’s easier to let the mind wander during periods of physical stillness, slow yoga classes provide an opportunity to practice deep concentration while focusing on inhalations and exhalations.
  • The class finishes with a taoist meditation, also known as "Stillness Qigong".

For all fitness levels - I will offer modified options
