The Nature Sessions | Part I: Roots

ABOUT

Journey with Just Breathe over the next few months as we take you outdoors and out of your comfort zone with our 5-part yoga and hike series hosted at Giba Gorge.

Part 1 Roots will start you off with the basics of yoga flow, introduce you to the key standing poses with a few hidden challenges in between. The key focus will be on grounding and strengthening, slowly building our yoga foundation from the roots up!

This event is for you if:

• You want to get started with yoga but perhaps find a studio setting too intimidating.
• You want to release tight muscles and improve your overall strength and flexibility.
• You already love and enjoy yoga.
• You love the outdoors and look for any excuse to go outside.
