This class is perfect for the beginner and intermediate students seeking to strengthen and explore their mental and physical practice, or for the advanced student seeking to support a regular practice.

Safely cover new ground. Fun and inventive transitions keep your practice fresh. Strong beginners through Advanced welcome.
