MJCW’s Gentle Yoga sessions focus on awareness, alignment and breath to help release tension and relax the nervous system. Sessions are designed to stretch and strengthen your body while creating space for stillness. Each session can help build confidence, reduce anxiety and stress, and restore and renew the mind and body. Every session will commence with a guided meditation for a complete mind/body yoga experience. All sessions offered by MJCW are taught from a trauma-informed yoga therapy approach.
