🌞 Gentle Morning Hatha Yoga

Accessible, gentle yoga to help you start your day feeling grounded, supported, and at ease.

This 30-minute class is designed to awaken the body, calm the mind, and support your nervous system through slow, intentional movement and breath. You’ll be guided with options throughout, with space to move, rest, or modify in ways that work for your body.

Perfect for beginners, those returning to movement, or anyone looking for a more supportive and accessible approach to yoga.

This class is part of the Gentle Morning Yoga series. You’re welcome to attend one or both classes each week depending on what feels most supportive.
