WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE ONLINE CLASSES
"I just took your Chair Yoga class and loved it! It is so deeply deeply relaxing and makes me feel so well and so alive. It's a miracle! It's amazing how much you can do with a chair!!"
...
"Yesterday's gentle yoga class was spectacular for my legs...Whatever we did strengthened my quads and relaxed my calf muscles so that my legs were straight and felt strong and walking was wonderful. No pain in the knees. "
...
"I already feel SO much better than I did upon waking up today - I had lots of anxiety and chest clenching. Those chest openers are critical for me right now, thank you for incorporating them! "
...
"Centering. Calming. Perfect. I appreciated every moment. " (Gentle Yoga)
...
"I took a couple of your toe, foot, and ankle strengthening classes last week and, amazingly, they saved me! Walking at the farmers market today my foot caught on a cobblestone walkway and I started to fall forward, and In that instant I pushed down on my toes and feet and was able to right myself. I did not end up on the ground!"
...
"I need the anti-anxiety, the breathing for calm, the grounding the class provides for me. Gentle yoga, because it is so deliberate, always appealed to me and now in a world that has been turned on its axis, it is essential."
...
"Not only am I getting quality teaching, but it's a time when I can feel connected with others. Feeling gratitude."

Weekly class agenda posted on Facebook (and like us!)
NOTE: See the "About Barbara" page to read about the current fascia/ connective tissue training I am taking to learn yogic approaches to help rehydrate and manipulate the fascia to bring greater flexibility, improve posture, and help ease chronic pain.
Mixed Levels Yoga
A bit more challening than the "Gentle Yoga" classes with more strengthening and balancing moves and we hold poses longer and yet the class is still gentle. We start with a calming restorative pose and all classes include a breathing exercise. We need to keep our lungs strong now more than ever!
Do yoga and create better flexibility, alignment, circulation, strength, and balance.
