SmartFlow Yoga: A Complete Practice

Sunday, October 22, 2023

1:00-3:30pm

w/Annie Carpenter

Let’s come together and celebrate the beauty and depth that Yoga can truly be.

We’ll start with some gentle asana to set us up for finding a comfortable seat with an erect spine. Next, we’ll practice a few traditional forms of Pranayama, Yogic breathwork. That’s the perfect entry into a sweet, intentional meditation focused on making peace with our inner desires and fears. We’ll take a mini-break and come together for a lecture and discussion on the Kleshas, one of Classical Yoga’s essential teaching on how we create on our obstacles—and how we can start to unwind them, too.
