Yoga at the Ritz 13 - Yoga Conditioning

Today's class inspired by a request for hip opening yoga class.

Details

When: Tuesday, January 14, 2025 from 7:30 - 9:30 AM
Where: The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe
With: Tahoe Flow Arts and Fitness
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: Today’s class inspired by a request for hip opening yoga class.
