"After a session of yoga, the mind becomes tranquil and passive" B.K.S Iyengar.
This monthly Friday afternoon class is taught by Louie for adept students who can hold a ten minute independent headstand, balance in Sirsasana II in the middle of the room and have a dedicated home practice. We will focus on what each practitioner could work on in the weeks between classes, in order to grow in their practice.
