I have had several women express an interest in having some yoga classes. The time that we are looking at is Wed mornings at 8:30 at the church. You are welcome to bring your little ones with you. (my boys always liked it when I gave them a zerbit while doing a downward-facing-dog pose! It messes up the breathing, but moms know how to adapt, right?)
Luana would be willing to do an evening class if there is enough of an interest, for those of you who have commitments during the day and couldn't make the morning class. Let Luana or I know if you would be interested.
Luana attended training in Salt Lake in the Yoga Fit program. Yoga Fit is designed specifically for strength, cardiovascular conditioning, and flexibility. In Luana's class we will be focusing on breathing, feeling, and listening to the body. We are so lucky to have Luana teach this for us, it will be amazing!
-What to bring? A mat or a towel and water. (Yoga mats may be purchased at Walmart for about $20. You could also buy a thin camping mat for considerably cheaper. A towel also works!)
-What to wear? Loose fitting clothes that you can move in. The class is done with bare feet.
Namaste!
