Lymphatic Flow (Ruth)
By design, yoga supports many of the organ systems in the body, including detoxifying systems like the lymphatic system. Centuries of trial and error and refining postures and breath practices have led to one of the most full body and holistic forms of movement. Twists, compression, and breath practices seem to magically improve lymphatic flow and detoxifying processes in the body. Learn sequences and poses that will enhance this built-in secret weapon of yoga. If you have specific lymphatic issues or a sluggish lymphatic system, this class is for you. Ruth is a lymphatic massage therapist, trained at the Vodder School for Manual Lymph Drainage. $50

Hands Free Flow (Ruth)
Get off your wrists! This warming flow class takes you through challenging sequences that keep you off your wrists, protecting your elbows, shoulders, and neck. This workshop is for those of us who like challenging flow sequences without stress on the wrists and shoulders. A former swimmer and lover of sun salutations and power flow yoga, Ruth experienced shoulder pain and stability issues after breast cancer treatment. She developed several satisfying sequences that keep the breath flowing, the heart rate up, and offer a strength, stability, and endurance challenge. Modifications and rest built in to allow for a safe and challenging practice for all levels. Access a take-home video of hands-free flow practices. $35
