New Yoga Instructor: Kyra Nakamatsu
Seeking a space to slow down and find inner peace? This class nurtures physical, emotional, and mental well-being through gentle movement, breathwork, and mindfulness.
As part of her 200HR Yoga Teacher Training Karma Project, Kyra is offering this class to share the healing power of yoga that has deeply inspired her through her own journey with grief. Kyra's intention is to create a space where you can move with ease, let go, and cultivate presence. Expect a 30-minute slow Vinyasa flow to release tension in the body, followed by 15 minutes of Yin for deep relaxation, ending with a calming meditation.
No experience needed—just an open heart and a willingness to be present. Come as you are, and leave feeling more grounded, peaceful, and restored.
Please bring a mat, dress comfortably, and bring a water bottle if desired.
