Post Date: 01-08-2013

The holidays are over, and we're heading full speed into a great start to 2013. Now, we're ready to help our residents start the new year off on a high note with yoga at Rocketts Landing!

Whether you want to uphold your resolution for better health or simply de-stress post-holidays (our restaurants are good for that too!), we have a couple of different yoga classes lined up this winter. So, don't worry about those extra holiday pounds that may have joined you recently -- the road to better health starts today!

Class 1: Gentle Yoga, 10-week class

Led by LA-transplant Hilary Scribner (whose parents also live at Rocketts Landing!), this beginning-level yoga class will help you stretch, align and restore. Scribner will focus on connecting your mind with your body through gentle positions that both calm and strengthen. Her Gentle Yoga class is suitable for everyone from beginning-level students to advanced practitioners who may want a "peaceful pace."
