Elite Dance Company

This is a therapeutic class for students who want to receive the benefits of reducing stress and enhancing physical and emotional wellness that a regular yoga practice can offer; but have the need to approach the practices in a more gentle way. Whether you have specific physical or emotional challenges, would prefer a slower and more gentle practice, or just want the opportunity to slow down and relax, you will benefit from this class. The emphasis of this class will be on an introduction to yoga philosophy and how it may enrich our modern lives; becoming more aware of our bodies and habitual patterns of holding; breathing practices to cultivate deep relaxation, slow, mindful movements to open and lubricate joints, help release muscular tension and increase ranges of motion. Additionally we will work on slowing down busy minds and replace negative thinking patterns will a more positive outlook. There will also be group discussion time.
