Yoga is a practice of mindfulness and improv is a practice of freeing the mind to create a world of play. When you merge the two, it creates an atmosphere of self love and freedom to allow your body to play. Come flow with me as we use improv to free our bodies and our minds in a gentle vinyasa flow. Yoga and improv are for everyone.. be curious and say yes!
