Winter Therapeutics Series with Irene Alexander
Sundays: February 5 & March 11
2:00 - 4:00pm
Yoga is an incredible tool for health, balance and insight. You'll learn how to adapt the practice specifically for your body and your need. In Irene's words:
I am greatly inspired by what I am learning, and so appreciative of the Two Dog community that connects me to wonderful teachers and connects me to you. In the new year I will be continuing my once-a-month Sunday classes with an open format. We'll be practicing yoga as a therapeutic tool for treating injuries, pain, stress, imbalance -- if you've got it, bring it in and learn how to adapt the practice to meet your needs. One of the things I most appreciate about yoga as therapy, is the recognition of the interactions between body, mind and environment that are at the essence of yoga philosophy. Our classes will weave together a practice of whole-being health and support. I'd love to see you there!

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.
