Pilates/Yoga Workshop with Sachi Cote

YOGA
Combining traditional yoga with elements of Pilates and dance, this open-level class incorporates yoga asana (postures), pranayama (breathwork), and nourishing, mindful movement. During the last 15 minutes, students enjoy a guided meditation to ground day-to-day stress. Sachi encourages students to observe the self throughout the practice while aiming to provide a fun and energetic way to strengthen and tone the body, increase flexibility and confidence and most importantly, find presence. All ages and levels welcome. Workshop to be held Thursday October 10th from 6-7:15pm in the Rec Hall at NEOC. Please reserve your place by emailing: [email protected]
