DRAGON SPIRIT YOGA™

Dragon Spirit Yoga™ brings together the Taoist Internal Arts of Chi-kung/Kung-Fu & the Yogic styles of Hatha/Vinyasa practices. This fusion style of Yoga/Chi kung is rooted in traditional disciplines that explore a series of still restorative poses (Asana), self-massage techniques (Do-In) & breath-work exercises (Pranayama) with a focus on synchronizing breathing in combination with energizing sequences of vigorous movement (Vinyasa). We will meditate on stillness, balance like the roots of trees, embody our peaceful warriors & swim in the vein of dancing dragons to bring harmony (Yin/Yang) & cultivate vital energy (Chi) in the body, mind & spirit!

Please wear comfortable/stretchy clothing appropriate for practice. Feel free to bring your own Yoga Mat as well as any additional props (Blankets, Straps, Blocks  & Eye pillows) to assist with postures. This class is suitable for all levels of experience (modified poses will be offered). Please arrive early to set up.
