With: Tahoe Flow Arts and Fitness
Description: Yoga at Ritz is a fun class for all levels and ages with flowing poses and breathwork to build stability, flexibility, and mindfulness. These classes typically follow an arc of opening awareness, warm-up stretches, standing poses, balancing poses, inversions, grounding poses, and relaxation. There are two classes, one at 7:30 and one at 8:30. I adapt each class to the students who show up.
Theme: This yoga class is a slow flow focused on stretching, strengthening, and balancing. It includes a full body scan to bring awareness to any tightness and tenderness in the body.

Spotify Playlist

Instead of using a Spotify playlist for this class, I defaulted to the spa music that was playing over the loudspeaker because it had a nice calming feel. But, I would’ve used this playlist if there hadn’t been music.

Notes

I had one guest for the 7:30 class, and she said the class was exactly what she needed. She had been lifting weights a lot and need to focuses on stretching and listening to her body. The 8:30 class had two friends and they really enjoyed talking to each other during the warrior poses and noticing the similar and different sensations they had. I will keep incorporating the discussion in my classes.
