Relax + heal with Xenia

Currently on pause

This gentle weekly class will help you get centred, relax and encourage optimal functioning of the body’s natural healing mechanisms for physical and mental wellbeing. We will work on soothing held yin yoga poses to enhance circulation, deep tissue stability and organ health. We will supplement the yoga poses with gentle breathing exercises to relieve stress, calm down and build resilience. All are welcome regardless of fitness level or prior experience.
