Led by Elena Brower, yoga students explored methods for charting a personal course in the new year – one founded on physical, mental and emotional alignment. Participants received a copy of Practice You, Brower’s bestselling book, to be used for crafting new paths for our practices, more empowered relationships with ourselves and a deeper appreciation for the world around us. From alignment to flow, meditation to a deep restoration, participants felt recalibrated and revitalized by this unique experience.
