Gentle Movement

Intro to Vinyasa Vinyasa yoga is similar to Ashtanga, but plays with a va- riety of posture sequences. We will begin with sun salutations, breath work and basic closing/ relaxation postures and gradu- ally add more strengthening, dynamic and complex postures as students become more com- fortable with vinyasa (flowing from posture to posture). This class is for those who are reason- ably healthy and without serious injury. Instructor: Sky Hellyar Tuesdays January 13 - March 17 6:00 - 7:15 pm Lewis Centre $80/10 Sessions Mixed Level Vinyasa Different flows each week will challenge your body, focus your mind, and soothe your spirit. Variations given for all levels, from confident beginner on up! Some previous yoga experience recommended.

If you are completely new to yoga and not sure about com- mitting to a series of classes, come out and try the basics to see if this ancient practice ap- peals to you.
