If you really want to feel great, try Gia's gentle yoga class. These classes are ongoing, no experience is necessary, all ages and skill levels are welcome. This is Gia's own style, developed over her experience since 1970. In this class you will stretch and tone the muscles, bring  awareness and control to the breath, increase mind concentration and focus, lubricate the joints, strengthen the bones, massage and condition internal organs, balance the mind and emotions, give flexibility to the mind and body and strengthen the nervous system.

*Please come in comfy clothes with food digested, and bring a large towel or blanket. Movements will be performed in bare feet.

**Although this is a drop-in class, advance registration is required. Please call (860) 685-7871 to reserve your space.

It's finally here! Have you taken Salsa I and II? Here is the next level for you. David will review timing and the base patters of this hot dance. You will focus on timing, musicality, and partner connections. Learn new variations and work on floor craft (the art of moving within a small, ever-changing dance area). Leaders will work on improvisation and followers will build their ability to dance with any leader.
