Instructor: Michele O'Toole, RYT, RN, BSN
"Yoga improves mental focus by the practice of meditation in movement, nurtures and strengthens the body though the correct practice of asanas and improves the perception of oneself in relationship to other beings. By developing a strong and still spirit with a unique and wise intuition you will connect to your internal self in a profound and meaningful way. Yoga demonstrates connection in a very organic and practical way, it is not complicated but simply rich with nourishment for the soul." M. O.
