The Art of Yoga: Foundations, Alignment & Sound Healing

Have you ever wondered why we practice certain yoga poses, what their deeper purpose is, or how small adjustments can transform your practice?

Yoga is so much more than movement. It’s a journey of awareness, connection, and self-discovery.

I’m excited to invite you to a special 2-hour workshop where we’ll explore the roots and philosophy of yoga, break down foundational poses, and discover how proper alignment and mindful breathing can deepen your practice.

And for the perfect ending?

We’ll transition from movement into stillness with a soothing sound meditation while resting in aerial hammocks, allowing the body to relax and the mind to settle.

Whether you’re just beginning your yoga journey or have been practicing for years, there’s always something new to discover.

Understand the practice. Refine your movement. Discover stillness.

November 8 | 2–4 PM

KiBody&Spirit | 477 Great Neck Rd, Great Neck, NY
