Upcoming... | Gator Yoga
Coming again soon...Gator Yoga! Warm up, stretch, and enliven your body while working on flexibility, balance, strength, and movement. Everyone is welcome to come get centered, get loose, and get happy!
"Gator Yoga is a recipe for dancing from the inside out. Start with easy stretching and deep breathing. Add balanced movement...slowly building in intensity and complexity to groove-you music. Then, students move on their own, free-form style and dance becomes a body prayer. I love this class. It is a joy to my body and my spirit." -- Judith Ryan
No obligation, though should you wish to contribute: Paypal paypal.me/thegatorboy or Venmo Sean Donovan @thegatorboy.
