Each class blends meditation, breath-work, classical postures and flows with a healthy dose of practical philosophy and wellness applications. You’ll learn the benefit of every posture as a meditation and medication. Best of all, Leena’s classes in the beautiful Oak Hill Park ballroom have a view and access to the lake-side deck. There is lots of parking and a park for kids and loved ones to enjoy while you are in class. Come for the yoga, stay for the lake, park and fresh air.
