Everyone's body is different. Viniyoga is based on an ancient yoga lineage that is sensitive to these differences, concentrating on finding individual adaptations for poses so that each person's innate abilities are enhanced without compromising joints and ligaments that might have limitations. This class emphasizes the breath; you will learn how to breathe the Viniyoga way, and coordinate movement with the breath, to help you get the most out of your yoga practice. Come join us to increase your energy and sense of calm to help you get through your busy week, at the same time improving your flexibility and strength. Designed for anyone—with or without previous yoga experience.

Stephanie Harding has a 500-hour teaching certification from the American Viniyoga Institute, plus a 100-hour certificate in Anatomy for Yoga from the Breathing Project in NYC. She has been practicing yoga for 17 years.

Different workouts are provided each session, and participants will swim anywhere from 1 mile to more than 1.5 miles per class. The One Day a Week class is designed as an extra workout for those who want a little more intensity in their weekly regime; swimmers must be enrolled in another SLC Swim for Fitness class to be eligible for this class.
