"YOGA... FOR THE REST OF US"

If touching your toes is only in your dreams:

If sitting on the floor is a challenge;

If you think "OM" means "Oh My!"

If you think doing yoga means becoming a pretzel;

This may be the class for you!!!

"Yoga for the Rest of Us"is a workshop for those who may be intimidated to join any of the regularly scheduled yoga classes.  Whether you sit at a desk all day, or are a super-athlete that never finds time to stretch, or maybe you just have a little trouble walking around the block, this is the perfect workshop for you.  Gail will take you through a variety of simple postures using lots of props focusing on alignment, flexibility and balance.
