Yoga Kickstart with Miriam Zernis ~ Morning
Get your week started with a positive, calm mental attitude and a un-kinked
body in this class based on the undiluted, classical and holistic approach
to yoga as a complete healing system. Students will move systematically
through warmups, sun salutations and a short sequence of powerful poses to
tone and
strengthen all the muscle groups of the body. A deep and healing guided
relaxation at the end of practice leaves you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.
