She will explain how a yoga mat/blanket/strap can be used for future sessions and you can decide if it Is something you want to work with, Starting in November, the classes will be 60 minutes.
Alice is thrilled to be teaching the Wednesday 11:30 yoga class this Fall at Georgetown Village and looks forward to sharing her love of movement with the community.Yoga creates a mind-body-breath connection while combining stretching and strengthening postures with slow intentional movements. The practice can improve posture, balance, flexibility and strength, and cultivate a sense of well-being, peace, and self-acceptance.We will be using a chair as our main prop with a portion of the class seated while we warm-up through joint mobilization and gentle stretches. We will then work on standing poses/movements/balances with the chair for support. Please wear comfortable clothing which will allow you to move and stretch. No props other than chairs (provided at the studio) are needed for this first month as we get to know the practice and each other. I will explain how a yoga mat/blocks/blanket/strap can be used for future sessions and you can decide if you think that might be something you want to bring to class or not.For future reference, examples of blocks, mat and strap below:Gaiam Essentials Yoga Block (Set Of 2) – Supportive, Soft Non-Slip Foam Surface For Yoga, Pilates, Meditation https://a.co/d/0zxyA5NGaiam Yoga Mat – Premium 6mm Print Extra Thick Non Slip Exercise & Fitness Mat for All Types of Yoga, Pilates & Floor Workouts (68″L x 24″W x 6mm Thick) https://a.co/d/im2hiPBSlim Panda Yoga Strap for Yoga Pilates Ballet Dance,(10+ Colors,6 Feet/8 Feet) with Adjustable D-Ring Buckle, Cotton Yoga Belt for Fitness, Daily Stretching, Physical Therapy, Improve Flexibility https://a.co/d/3uLvTnj
