WHAT IS YOGA?
While there are 100s different types of yoga, YogaSole aims to instruct an accessible combination of breathwork, meditation, and movement in each session. At YogaSole, our intention is to help individuals stretch, strengthen, and relax in a way that honors their individual connection to their mental and physical being. With a history dating back thousands of years, practicing yoga has demonstrated a number of benefits including increasing body awareness, strengthening our mind/body connection, increasing flexibility and balance, and creating relaxation.
