Yoga, Art, and Wellness
The goal of these yoga workshops is to go beyond the mat and explain more of the philosphy of yoga and how it fits into a balanced lifestyle. It is rare to find workshops like these outside of expensive yoga retreats, we are really proud to be able to offer you these creative and affordable yoga options.
This is a three part series, and each part is one week in duration (once a day classes, Monday-Friday). Each class is two and a half hours long, which is divided into a one and a half hour yoga session and a one hour related lesson.
