This class will focus on learning traditional yoga poses, breath practices, and relaxation/ meditation techniques inside the Esplanade's heritage and contemporary art galleries. Hatha Yoga is suitable for all persons who wish to experience more freedom in physical movement and would like to release tension from both body and mind.

Throughout the 6 week blocks, participants will the learn the typical structure of a yoga class and the six categories of yoga poses: forward bends, back bends, side bends, twists, balances, and semi-inversions. Each class will focus on postural and body alignment in seated, standing, and lying postures to achieve a full body balanced practice. Options and modifications will be provided throughout. Following each session there will be the opportunity to discuss, meditate, or reflect on the exhibiting artwork. This class will leave you feeling relaxed, centered and recharged for the rest of your day!

Please bring a yoga mat, a yoga strap (this could be a tie, a belt, or anything of the like) and a pillow/cushion for seated and kneeling postures.
