Yoga and Relaxation with Karen Wood.

This class will start with a gentle yoga practice that connects us to our senses and our bodies, noticing the tensions that will hold at this time of year. The class will include hanging out in stretches that help to restore and reconnect with our nervous system. With a focus on breath, slow movement and juicy stretches, we will build up to balances to acknowledge our strength and resilience. This class is influenced by yoga asanas, flow yoga, somatic dance practice and the need for rest. We will end the class with a restorative practice to settle our nervous system and bring about calmness to enable us to step into December. Bring a yoga mat, blanket and cushions (whatever makes for comfort).  Blocks will be provided. This will be an open level class with options to work at different levels, depending on what your body needs. All bodies welcome.
