Yoga For The Curious But Reluctant with guest instructor Gail Gensler
Sunday, August 29
2:00pm - 4:00pm
This gentle and very supportive class is for those who would like to try yoga but are hesitant...perhaps because of an injury, or feeling out of shape, overweight or too old. Gail herself is 56 and works with chronic back pain and a shoulder injury. She believes everyone can do yoga when it's adapted to each person's needs, and gets her greatest joy from helping folks find their way into yoga. The workshop will include simple yoga postures, breathing, grounding, meditation and a good dose of fun.

I have taken yoga classes in Seattle on and off for 30 years, and have
experienced a variety of yoga instructors and studios, but my
experiences at Two Dog Yoga top it all.
