My priority is functional movement for daily life activities. I believe consistency and subtle changes are vital to improved well-being. Vinyasa classes feature a warm-up phase followed by vinyasa (flow), standing balance, and varied inversion and backbend combinations. I use pose variations and props to ensure proper alignment and safety. Chair Yoga offers a head-to-toe workout with select standing poses and seated variations offered at the end of class. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616364b7d6b5a65d835a83c4/eebf89a5-9b99-48c1-aaae-d813e51379ea/maryliwanagyoga+11+23+30.jpeg Classes - Private and Group Classes Private and group classes are available, and I offer a free demo class to businesses seeking to improve employee wellness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616364b7d6b5a65d835a83c4/87ede87c-3680-40fe-a24b-e3d15df840c5/maryliwanagyoga+11+23+55.jpeg Classes - Private Class Policy- Except for emergency, private classes require a 24 hour cancellation notice or payment of the class fee is required.
