The beginning level classes are for those who are new to yoga or who wish to improve their mind/body health by moving slowly and mindfully using chairs and props for support. This practice is low impact and uses seated, reclining, and standing poses.

The intermediate classes are for those with more experience studying yoga and who are ready for deepening their strength with a more challenging practice.
