All-Levels Yoga Sue Buell
This class focuses on alignment
for safety, stretching and strengthening for health, opening inside for peacefulness, and variety for fun. To make
multi-level classes work for you, just drop your personal judgments at the door and think only about yourself as you explore
each asana/pose. This grows your ability to feel how much trying and how much relaxing is just right for you at
that particular moment. Tai Chi for Health Maureen Caldwell
