30 min Strength and Mobility
This class will incorporate more active movements to take your joints through a full range of motion and less passive stretching than a typical yoga class. Expect different variations of squats, lunges, and push ups in addition to classical yoga poses, breath work, and meditation. Some yoga experience required.
