Mens Only Yoga
with Viviana Petrarca

Begin a 4 week exploration of yoga fundamentals through a man's eye.

Throughout history the strenuous practice of yoga asana was traditionally taught to men seeking truth and great wisdom. Move through sun salutations, warrior sequences, forward bending and backbending to give you a solid foundation to participate in any yoga class thereafter.

Instruction will be hands on with an emphasis on exploring yoga postures through the unique masculine perspective. Expect to be inspired, challenged and walk away with a new passion for yoga.
