This one-hour Kripalu yoga class will focus on uniting your mind and body by bringing your awareness to the breath.

Explore mindfulness and yoga in our Mindful Slow Flow-Yoga with Frankie class on Tuesday, March 11 from 11 AM - 12 PM in the Art Gallery. In this yoga class, we will focus on core basic movements with high attention to the present moment—anyone from the seasoned to the occasional yogi will benefit. The overall themes for the class are self-awareness, acceptance, breath, gratitude, and self-compassion. Mindfulness is a way to break away from attachments, limits, and lack of awareness we experience in ourselves, and that is precisely our focus during this four-week intensive. The class will be in the style of a vinyasa slow flow, but the nuances of our mind will supersede everything else. The class will conclude with breathwork and a brief meditation to seal your experience. Please bring a yoga mat if you have one. Registration is required.
Future Mindful Slow Flow-Yoga with Frankie classes will be held on March 18 and March 25 with registration opening on Saturday, February 22 at 12 PM and Saturday, March 1 at 12 PM respectively.
