DESCRIPTION:This popular class is perfect for a beginner&mdash\;or the  e
 xperienced yoga practitioner&mdash\;who wants a less vigorous class to  
 increase flexibility\, strength\, energy\, balance\, good posture\, and 
  greater ease in the body/mind.\nA slower class&nbsp\;pace helps you:\n\
 nLearn basic yoga postures and breathing exercises.\nIncrease body aware
 ness to avoid or recover more quickly from illness or injury\; and\nBala
 nce a life of more active yoga practice or physical exercise with more f
 ocused breathing and stretching.\n\n&nbsp\;\nClasses include total body 
 stretching&nbsp\;with  a special emphasis on tension-prone areas&mdash\;
 neck\, shoulders\, lower back\,  hips and hamstrings/legs. We&rsquo\;ll 
 do joint-freeing movements\, detoxing  twists\, and passive holding of p
 oses&mdash\;surrendering to gravity&mdash\;to release  deeply held tight
 ness. Restorative Poses using blankets and other props  to support the b
 ody might be used to help you experience deeper opening\,  relaxation an
 d healing.\nTo strengthen\,&nbsp\;we&rsquo\;ll  use holding of poses\, r
 epetition\, props and lifting up and out of  gravity. Focus on breathing
  and relaxation techniques will balance the  nervous and endocrine syste
 ms. Each class ends with guided relaxation.\nAbout Dream:\nDream Yoga St
