Broga: 4 Week Yoga Series for Men

with John Luczyszyn

Thursdays, 7:30pm, Starting May 17th

"A male-centric yoga class is a good way to channel the natural qualities a man might bring to the practice. Men often bring a competitiveness, an intensity, and a seriousness to their yoga practice. We try to balance that by helping them grow in the direction of softness [flexibility] and openness. A good way to connect is to appeal to the strength aspects of yoga, the focus on discipline, or the quiet mindfulness - that Zen Samurai mindset." -Matt Carpenter, a teacher at the The Omega Institute in Upstate New York

This is an all-levels class, which will teach breath and movement specifically chosen to benefit men's bodies and health. Benefits include: increased flexibility, muscle strength, endurance and stamina, stress reduction, and creating a sense of well-being.

Taught by John, our resident male yogi.
