Did you know your breath controls your body’s core and that your respiratory diaphragm is deeply connected to your pelvic floor and feet? Did you know that the most important joint in your body is your big toe? Come learn with us! This class focuses on the breath and how it informs every aspect of our physical and mental well-being. Each week, we’ll practice breathing exercises to strengthen, heal, and free your body from the inside out. Using techniques from yoga, physical therapy, PRI physical therapy, and other somatic modalities, we’ll practice breath-driven functional movement flows designed to help connect you to your deep core, improve balance, and release myofascial pain. Arrive with a yoga mat and two yoga blocks. Also recommended: a Coregeous Ball from Tune-Up Fitness (easy to find online) or small hand towel. Free free to contact me with any questions.
Fee: $129.00

Unitarian Society of Germantown, 6511 Lincoln Drive

Use 361 W. Johnson St in your GPS. The church is on Lincoln Dr., between Wayne and Hortter, but MALT students need to use the parking lot off Johnson Street between Wayne and Greene Streets and enter the church from the rear of the building. The driveway to the parking lot is on Johnson, right next to the railway bridge, closest to Wayne Ave. It's a long driveway. Park in the last lot and walk up the sidewalk to the 2nd stairway. Walk down the stairs to enter the church. There is a schedule of events posted on this door. That schedule tells you which room you're in. Once inside the church, there is a map on the bulletin board to show where your room is. If the door is locked, please wait until your instructor shows up.

The Route H bus stops less than a block away at Lincoln Drive & Wayne Avenue.
