Tuesdays, 10AM-11:15PM: Hatha Yoga —with Rebecca L’Abbe 
Cost: 8 classes for $120, or drop in for $18. First class for new students at no cost. Hatha Yoga is defined as a practice that develops strength, flexibility, bodily relaxation, and mental concentration. Mindfulness and breath awareness are also integral to the practice of yoga asana. This class is designed to provide a balanced combination of sustained poses with attention to basic alignment and therapeutic principles. For those unfamiliar with the many styles of yoga available, this class moves at a moderate pace and emphasizes learning the poses in a safe and progressive manner.  Props–mats, blankets, straps, blocks, balls, and bolsters are available for use, however many students prefer to bring their own mats.  Please contact the instructor directly with any questions and to sign up for the class.  Contact Rebecca at rebecca.labbe@gmail.com.
