Yoga at the Ritz 14 - Expansive

This theme of this class is expansion, inspired by a mediation on on that theme. This class is more Vinyasa-style and less Restorative-style than my typical 7:30 AM Ritz class.

Details

When: Tuesday, March 18, 2025 from 8:30 - 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. This theme of this class is expansion, inspired by a mediation on on that theme. This class is more Vinyasa-style and less Restorative-style than my typical 7:30 AM Ritz class.
