First Mondays of each month

The Hatha Clinic focuses on personal practice and alignment with regards to anatomy making the practice of yoga postures, flow and transitions accessible and safe.

This class meets monthly on the last Saturday. It will include mixed level practice with time for questions and learning personalized ways to approach asana. Yoga Clinic approaches asana practice as a somatic practice, where sensations and signals from the whole human system are explored.
