Her teaching style is inspired by over 20 years of practice and training, an appreciation of the mind-body connection and the reward of serving her students. Ellen’s classes are well structured and creative. She offers clear instruction and many options so that your practice is truly your own.
Description
This class will help you improve your functional balance through progressive and creative strength-building sequences, core work and focused movement. Options will be offered to ensure a practice that is challenging for your own energy level and to help progressively build your yoga practice. We will integrate postures that stretch the muscles worked. Yoga blocks (or sturdy books) and a yoga strap (or tie or scarf) are often helpful. This practice is good for anyone wanting to improve their balance and strength in a mindful way.
