Course Description:
From Yogi Goodbee: “It will be an honor & a privilege to share the many gifts of yoga, mindfulness, meditation in this community class, as we build bridges of connections. Come one, come all, short or tall, big or small. This is an invitation for you all. To help you stand nice and tall, we probably find ourselves on all fours, maybe our legs up on a wall, we may even begin to crawl, pulse, arc, wave, and roll! It’ll be a lighthearted way to de-stress, focus, and to energize our body and soul. All abilities are welcome from newbies to advanced yogis. I suggest that you wear comfortable clothing, bring whatever props you like, your own mat and perhaps a blanket to cover up during our relaxation time, and water so that you stay hydrated. Lastly, bring an open heart and an attitude of “I can!.”
