Yoga for Everybody

Taught by Mira Shani

Community Workshop: Open to all – no Duke affiliation required!

Yoga belongs to everyone. No matter what you look like or what you believe you’re capable of, the practice of yoga is for you. To connect with the depths of you. To remember the wisdom of your body. To come home to your heart. All you need is your breath and a desire to feel more and think less.

In this beginner-level, absolutely for everyone class, we’ll learn to breathe with awareness, feel the body’s glorious response to the breath, and move through a variety of shapes to explore interesting sensation and the malleability of our boundaries. Class will end with such delicious and deep rest, you’ll leave floating on a cloud. Wear comfortable, either loose or work-out style clothes, and a bottle of water.
