Thursday Sessions 7-8PM Relax, let go, and enjoy the slow flow! This nurturing class begins with a slow and intentional flow practice to move energy and open the body gently. Learn to combine breathing, flowing postures and meditation in this gentle, but deep approach to yoga.

Yoga poses are linked to breath to help reveal body awareness, inner strength and easeful opening. End class with an extended savasana to offer the utmost relaxation. Sessions are $17/ session or a five-week session for $75 Session begins 5/19-6/16 About the instructor: Dianne Croteau MSN, RN, RYT-500 Dianne is a devoted teacher with a gentle spirit and kind heart who guides others to pursue their practice and find health, balance, and overall well-being through Yoga and Meditation. She has practiced and studied yoga and meditation throughout North and South America for over 20 years. Combined with an extensive background in nursing, she views the science and spirituality of Yoga as a path to helping each individual find a deeper relationship with their own physical, physiological, and psychological body. Her style pulls from multiple yogic disciplines (Vinyasa, Hatha, Restorative, and Yin), and is both intuitive and steeped in the traditional aspects of yoga. Her classes focus on breath, movement, and the interconnection between mind, body, and spirit. Dianne encourages students to practice at a comfortable pace, in their own unique form within a welcoming, safe, and transformational environment.
