Gentle Bear Yoga Class (in NYC)
Details
Finally, a truly gentle class for beginners and for us big bears.
Class Description:
This class is all about moving with joy, breathing with intention, and showing up exactly as you are—big belly and all! Derek is here to help you feel good in your body, not change it. Let’s flow, grow, and have a damn good time doing it!
We'll break down a sequence of poses, working with options to embrace the needs of diverse body types, that you then can bring home to a daily practice or to help gain facility in a studio yoga class.
This is a yoga practice for all levels—fun, supportive, and accessible!
- No weights or equipment needed
- No prior experience required
- You’ll learn how to move your body in a way that works for you
- You’ll connect your breath and movement to your intentions and goals
This Gentle Bear Yoga Class is part of a three-event afternoon, together with a Bear Massage Workshop and a Cozy Bear Cuddle Pile.
