For anybody that loves food! And I mean really loves it!! This class is for anyone who eats the whole pizza, the entire pint of ice cream and all the Munchkins. Through small group chat, yoga poses modified for every body, and meditation, we go farther on down the road (with less in our lunchbox) to total body awareness. Over the course of the session, you'll discover ways to quiet the stories in your mind, alter your habits and come away feeling great about the body you have and the body you're evolving. No yoga experience necessary. Belly, Mind & Spirit continues through the end of Spring Session (July 8), will be taking a break for the summer, and back for Fall 2011!
