Dollar Point Yoga Weekend 10: Balancing Acts
This weeks class focuses on balance. Physical postures include balancing on the head and hands or one limb at a time. Meditations and breath-work balance the mind and sprit.
Summer Yoga at Dollar Point consists of Friday yoga on the grass by the pool and Saturday yoga on the beach by the lake. Each weekends class has the same theme and a similar series of poses, but each is uniquely suited to the setting. Spotify playlist for Friday poolside yoga only. Beachside yoga on Saturday features the sounds of the waves, Aspen trees, and people on the beach.
