A mindful method of teaching is adopted that reflects the Buddhist traditions of Yoga in a more contemporary and social environment.

Extreme postures that exceed optimal ranges of motion are avoided, head stands and shoulder stands are not taught in this class. There are Pilates/Core Stability exercises and the class flows to music.

The class is small with a maximum of 7 per class.
