Yoga for Men
with
Jennifer Jordan
Do you know a guy who feels too inflexible to do yoga? This class is designed just for the guys, so they can learn to stretch while using mind/body techniques in a fun and unintimidating space. Typically men experience more inflexibility in the hips, back and front of chest, thus we will effectively work those areas. This is an excellent way to learn how to make yoga more comfortable and beneficial in the regular drop in classes.
****** Please book in
advance as some workshops fill up early. ****** Registration
for select workshops is accepted no later than Saturday 12pm the
previous day of the workshop.
