Beginner Hatha with Prapatti or Lalita
This class is shared by two teachers who teach every other Saturday. Prapatti Patti Ryan, who is also a Physical Therapist. This is a regular beginner class. However, students who have some physical concerns will do well with this class as Prapatti will share some adaptations that the student can use to feel more comfortable in the pose. We want you to release stress, not bring in more! If you do have physical concerns that need to be taken into consideration, please email integralyoga@gmail.com and your email will be forwarded to Prapatti.
Lalita Phyllis Cohen is an Audiologist by profession and a dedicated yoga instructor for over ten years. Her class is a perfect class for beginners to feel welcome and to receive the attention they need.
This class is offered in-house only. Text Premajyothi 201-306-1247 to see if there is room available (as we are still restricted to no less than 6 feet apart). You can pay the $20 when you arrive or pay online now once you know there is room for you.
