Meditative Therapeutic Yoga

Meditative Therapeutic Yoga is a breath and alignment-based practice. Class begins with a card draw as a theme for the practice, followed by a centering meditation that includes mudra and mantra. Therapeutic postures are dynamically held with a flowing breath to allow the mind to become absorbed in the subtleties of energy and sensation. You’ll leave feeling calmer, stronger, more focused, and aligned with your higher purpose.

Rose is a collaborative teacher, meaning she takes your requests when it comes to the poses, energy, and/or parts of the body you would like to focus on or release. Reap the benefits of practicing with Albany’s only Certified Yoga Therapist.
