Beyond Asana- Deepening Your Yoga Practice
Our current program started in October. Next program start dates will be announced after the New Year.
This program is designed for those students who are looking to learn more about the origins, philosophy, and deeper yogic practices that time does not allow for in traditional group yoga classes.
