Each session will include asanas (yoga poses), pranayama (breathing exercises), vinaysa (yoga flow series), mudras (yoga in the hands), meditation (guided) and relaxation.



Students should bring a substantial yoga mat and blanket or towel for extra-padding as needed, and wear comfortable clothes.
