Relax, stretch and chill. This class is mellow but still challenging as it starts off slow and builds heat through various sequenced poses. A large portion of the class session is spent stretching. This class is GREAT for beginners and all levels. A great way to limber up and de-stress, and consider setting intentions related to the social (people) and environmental (planet) aspects of sustainable and healthy communities.
