(MAIN STAGE)
Yoga for Stiff People, Emily Large PT, CYT ERYT500, Living Large Therapeutics
One misconception common to yoga is that it is only for women or those who are flexible. Come experience a simple, challenging, accessible practice that is appropriate for those new to yoga, those who sit in chairs for work, or those who lack flexibility secondary to sports specific training such as running or cycling. Ladies bring your men. Men, bring your buddies. (all levels, all genders, asana)

(MAIN STAGE)
Back to Basics, Carlee (Kalyani) Cohen, RYT200 Breathe, Release, Repeat, Inc.
Learn how the alignment and flexibility of the spine determines the overall health and energy of the body. To insure proper communication between the brain and the body, it is essential that we keep the spine open and free. In addition to postures that target the upper and lower back, we will focus on surrounding muscles (including the low back, hips and hamstrings), which enable us to keep the back flexible and strong.

A Taste of Yoga Kids, Amy Cohen, MA RYT200 CYKT, Speech Pathologist

This class is designed for children. Children will be introduced to yoga using the Yoga Kids way. They will explore yoga poses, breath play and relaxation techniques (a guided visualization). Yoga helps increase focus, concentration and attention span, builds self-esteem, allows better sleep, brings awareness for the environment and their relationship to others and the world around them. Class is comprehensive, imaginative and playful.
