Hatha Yoga with Fran
Hatha Yoga refers to a set of physical poses (asanas) designed to align the muscles and bones and open the many energy channels of the body, especially the spine, so that energy can flow freely.
Hatha yoga is intended to create a balance of strength and flexibility in the body as well as a balance of effort and surrender in each pose. A Powerful tool for self-transformation, Hatha yoga requires that one pay special attention to the breath, which helps calm the fluctuations of the mind. This allows the practitioner to become more present in the unfolding of each moment, resulting in more awareness and relaxation. This style of yoga provides a great stretch and strengthens the body.
The use of props and modifications will be used if necessary, so that even those with health restrictions or decreased range of motion can enjoy the benefits of a traditional practice.
Please bring your own yoga mat, block and belt

Block therapy is an easy to follow bodywork program that releases adhesions in the fascia as a result of stress, injury and aging. Fascia separates muscles and organs and should glide between the layers but when these layers get stiff and adhered to they don’t glide and movement becomes limited. Through meditative breath and the position of a wooden block on various areas of the body, restrictions break down resulting in increased oxygen and blood flow. Each position the block is placed on the body will improve your alignment and range of motion, working to heal the tissue underneath.
Basic one-day course offering an overview of first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills for the workplace or home. Includes the latest first aid and CPR guidelines.
