This is a gentle Yoga class with a brief Reiki session, essential oils, sound therapy, and a guided meditation incorporated into it. Gentle Yoga is performed at a slower pace, with less intense positions, and includes extended time for mediation, yogic breath work, and relaxation. There is more emphasis on stretching, seated poses, and low-impact movements. Modifications are provided for all levels.

Reiki is a Japanese word translated as “Universal Life Energy.” Reiki is an energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, meditation, and reduces stress and anxiety through gentle touch. Reiki practitioners use their hands to deliver energy to your body, improving the flow and balance of your energy to support healing. With the permission of students, brief Reiki touch is incorporated into the meditation portion of classes.
