Yoga for Desk-Bound Dwellers
Many of us spend more time at our desks - or on our devices - than we should. This workshop will delve into relieving tension in areas of the body that are impacted by our desk-bound lifestyle (neck/shoulders, low back, hips), show you ways that you can implement easy and impactful stretches while at work, and finish with a 45 minute flow devoted to lengthening and opening these neglected areas. Led by guest instructor and yoga teacher trainee, Emily
Free to public | Open to all levels
Yoga for Mental Health Workshop
As society continues to talk about mental health and we focus solely on what the brain is thinking, we sometimes forget how integral the body is to the process. Join us for a mind/body connection through yoga to allow our brains to take a rest and find ease in our daily life.
Led by guest instructor and yoga teacher trainee, Jessica.
