Creative Flow: Yoga for Artists

Tap into your creativity with this accessible yoga class. We'll focus on releasing tension, especially in areas where artists commonly hold tightness - shoulders, neck, wrists and hands-- while opening up space for more freedom in mind and movement. You'll be guided through poses, breathwork, and meditation that invite creative energy to flow. All levels are welcome and you will be encouraged to move at your own pace. Bring your own mat.
