Intermediate Yoga
Shana Meyerson's intermediate YOGAthletica yoga classes are for students who love a challenge and want to level up.
These classes have a combination of standing and balancing poses, arm balances and inversions, deep stretches and lots of core.
Level Two is appropriate for most students who have been practicing for a while...or even a very long while.
With varied intensities, these classes will meet you where you are, with a challenge, a smile and the path to hit all your yoga goals.
