Description: Yoga at Ritz is a fun class for all levels and ages. The class synchronizes the breath with music and movement 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: These yoga classes begin with a mindful meditation then moves into a moderate flow with half moon as the peak pose. The full body workout ends with a gratitude meditation during Savasana.
