Flow: Beginner/Intermediate
Beginner/Intermediate classes are intended as a bridge for students who are newer, but are working their way up from Beginner to Intermediate level classes. Also great for Intermediate students who just want a more chill vibe. We will offer multiple options in the poses so that students can dial up or down the intensity of the class, finding what works for them. It can be intimidating to see students who are further in their practice, but it can also be inspiring. That is the attitude we hope you have. We were all beginners once.
