Foundations of Yantra yoga

​This is an introduction to the practice of Yantra Yoga, an unbroken lineage-based Tibetan system of yoga that fully coordinates breath and movement. Yantra Yoga’s unique series of positions and movements, combined with conscious breathing, can help balance your energy and relax your mind, providing a basis for contemplation. Yantra yoga leads to improved health, relaxation, and balance. This series is open to both new and experienced practitioners.

​This class will be the first of an ongoing series of pop-up classes outlining and informing a complete system of practice.
