Day 4 of Yoga for Beginners – Pranayama

Welcome to Day 4 of Yoga for Beginners!

This 7-day series helps students new to yoga build the foundation they need for a successful practice. Throughout the series, we'll focus on alignment, building strength, increasing flexibility and mobility, and reducing stress.

About the Class
