Weekly Event - Every Wednesday
Wednesdays weekly, 6:15-8:15 pm (Manifest Studio)
In this class you'll learn, with the support of other men, how to use Yoga & Ayurveda to --
* achieve your personal wellness goals (e.g., losing weight, becoming stronger & more flexible, overcoming stress, becoming calmer & more focused) and
* self-treat chronic pain or ailments (like back or neck pain, insomnia, allergies, depression, anxiety, HIV, digestive problems, etc.)
* to support other men in their healing process.
This class is limited to 6-12 students, so each class can be tailored to each student's goals, abilities, and limitations. Students of all levels and abilities are welcome, so long as they can walk up and down a flight of stairs.
