Whether you are a beginner or an advanced yogi, OneTree Yoga’s open level Vinyasa Flow Yoga classes meet each practitioner where they are. Experience flowing sequences partnered with traditional and
contemporary Yogic teachings, breath awareness, meditation and relaxation accompanied by an eclectic mix of
uplifting music. You will practice sitting, standing, twists and inverted postures, with challenging
variations suggested for more advanced students. You work at your own pace with Michele or Jennifer’s
constant guidance and hands-on adjustments to help you practice safely. Each class blends principles of
alignment with heart opening insight into a rejuvenating flow that cultivates inner and outer strength and
flexibility, deepens relaxation and expands your conscious awareness. Join this spirited community (formerly Earthbound Yoga) breathing renewed vibrancy into the historic Shore Cultural Centre.
