This is one of my go-to classes, especially when I need to feel centered, grounded, and de-stressed. It hits all those places that I tend to hold my tension, and there is just the right frequency of pose change that my mind doesn't have too much time to wander.

I am 75. I love the 30 day challenge beginner level. I look forward to my yoga class everyday. The best part is the progression of the classes. I always feel improvement never soreness. Thank you for your hard work.
