Gentle Yoga – Session #2

with Pamela Cates

Mar
11

Next session: March 11th to April 29th, 2025

My teachings are grounded in the philosophy of Svadhyaya, focusing on leading students towards self-study and self-reflection. The aim is to nurture a personal practice that extends beyond the mat for each student. Anticipate a gentle session incorporating functional movements with occasional challenges. I encourage the use of blocks as tools to further enhance a personal practice. Some sessions will also incorporate ball rolling.

Please plan to bring 2 yoga blocks, a ball (tennis ball is perfect) and your yoga mat to each practice.
