Description
Begin the new year with a practice that will give you a glimpse into a simple and gentle flow. Move the spine, maintain balance, and simply relax. Classes are designed to help you build strength, increase flexibility, and reduce stress. All at your own pace. The practice will follow gentle movement coupled with mindfulness and self-awareness. The flow will wake us up to get ready for the day. The postures are prone to variations and are modified to suit the needs of the participants. The flow helps us keep moving at a pace that is both beneficial and challenging without creating tension. Gentle flow is at a slower pace, and includes breath along with mindful movement. The benefit of this class will be to learn how to stay flexible. The class will include a few minutes of centering, flow practice, breathwork, and relaxation. The practice will include seated, standing, and reclined poses. Relaxation will be guided.

What Students Are Saying:
-Asha is always refining her presentations, based on the interests and skills of the participants. She also is an excellent teacher in addition to being an accomplished practitioner. She manages to model poses and provide feedback to individuals in a very kind and clear way. She is always in line with those of us on Zoom and is skilled in using the technology. In fact, I question whether this class would be as effective in an in-person classroom because each of us can see her modeling the poses by looking at a screen in our own living rooms.

I have greatly appreciated the class, especially during the height of the pandemic. It has helped me enormously and I look forward to the spring session. Thank you!
