Here are a few examples of possible movement classes:

Restorative Yoga

This gentle class will guide you through body opening poses, loosening tension and relieving stress. Moving at a slower pace and holding stretches longer will allow you to relax your mind and your body. Leave relaxed, content, and ready to take on the studio! Open to students of all levels.

Active Stretch

The class is designed to get the body moving and help with muscle recovery from stress as well as from overuse during work or play. It’s an excellent way to give the body the movement it needs to remain well. The class is gentle enough for someone just starting, yet powerful enough to benefit more advanced students.

If you are selected in our top applicants, we will call your references to confirm your background in yoga/movement and your training or teaching experience.
