UNA Annual General Meeting


Vinyasa Yoga16+ years : Old Barn InstructorVinyasa Yoga is an active, flowing style of yoga class proven to improve strength, cardiovascular health, and flexibility. This class is appropriate for all levels. You will be given options in each pose so that you feel challenged, yet successful. Without breaking the natural flow from pose to pose, the focus will be on alignment and breath. Wear clothing that moves with your body and bring a sweater or blanket for cool down.



Yoga Fundamentals16+ years : Luci Yamamoto

Learn the fundamental techniques of yoga asana (poses) with detailed instructions on anatomy and kinesiology, proper alignment, and safe movement into and out of poses. In an informal, supportive environment, we will approach poses step by step. Students will receive much personal attention and hands-on adjustments. The stretch class will include longer holds of poses to release muscular and mental tension. The instructor has been a keen student of yoga, primarily Iyengar yoga, since 1997.
