Yin Yang Yoga
Inspired by the flowing energy of Tai Chi, this all-levels practice explores the balance of strength and ease. Through slow, mindful postures and attention to skeletal-muscular alignment, we’ll deepen awareness of how our body moves and opens. Discover how thoughtful movement enhances creativity, flow, and relaxation from the inside out.

Trumpet Meditations & Lessons
Harness the calming power of sound as the trumpet becomes a guide for stillness, breath, and depth of movement. This all-levels class invites gentle awareness into the body, helping you relax into the present moment. Through the resonance of sound, we’ll open both body and mind to a more grounded, expansive state.
