Samadhi Yoga
Tuesdays, 5:30-6:30 with Melissa at the O'Brien Center in Winooski *starts June 18
Samadhi Yoga specializes in Hatha with an Ashtanga influence. Hatha yoga includes postural practices (asanas) and pranayama practice (breath work). Peace and serenity happen when incorporating the two elements. This is a gentle and slow flow where poses are held for longer breaths. This particular class focuses on compassion for your body and mental health. Some classes may incorporate chanting, vinyasa flow (fast paced sequence), and restorative sequences (calming and relaxing) in our practice. Each class is tailored specifically to the participants needs and desires. $15/drop-in, $10 for veterans, seniors, and students, $80 for 8 prepaid classes.
