Yoga with Dan!

This one-hour power yoga class is accessible for beginners and provides a challenge for advanced students. Several levels of modifications will be provided for each guided pose, so that you may choose a more peaceful practice up to a more engaging and activating practice. This is a "choose-your-own-adventure" style of yoga where you may invite tranquility or enjoy a good sweat. We will start with a gentle warm-up and then work through a series of poses to develop flexibility, strength and balance. There will be an emphasis on breathwork throughout the practice.
