Yoga for a Happy Belly

Connecting to Your Core for Health, Strength and Happiness

Yoga is clear – a happy belly makes for a happy yogi…

This means a belly with optimally functioning organs; strong, flexible muscles, a healthy flow of energies; and a cultivated awareness of mind-body connection. Yes, you will strengthen your core in this workshop, but more than that you will understand your core and develop a healthy relationship with this sensitive area of your body.

Explore anatomical function through strength and ease in yoga asana, pranayama, then dive deep into Vayus, Chakras through meditation and more in this fun, down-to-earth class.

Love your belly, love yourself! Appropriate for all levels.

Offered as either a 3-hour workshop or 10-hour weekend intensive
