YIN YANG FUSION:
THE DRAGON FLOW
‘Yin Yang Fusion: The Dragon Flow’
is a blend of Indian yoga and Dao-
ist practices. This practice starts
up in yang cycles & stages, flow-
ing energy and generating heat.
Then the practice slows into a yin
mode where postures are held in
stillness for a few breaths. This yin
segment focuses more on building
muscular strength and endur-
ance. Then just before the finale
of shavasana we linger into a few
yin poses to help refocus and find
calm.

HATHA LEVEL 1
This class will introduce you to
the basics of yoga postures and
breathing practices. It differs
from a Gentle Yoga class in that it

mental level of fitness, as well as
little or no back pain. This class
will help you develop strength and
balance as well as flexibility, while
giving you tools for stress reduc-
tion.
