“Move Your Asana,” led by yoga and dance instructor Kitty Clark, takes place on Sunday, Jan. 29, from 2 to 4 p.m. Geared for yoga students who yearn to dance or for dance students interested in the mindfulness of yoga, this hybrid expressive movement class integrates yoga, dance and movement improvisation. Yoga postures will serve as a jumping off point for an interesting excursion into the world of movement. The cost for the workshop is $15 or $12 for those who currently hold a Jala Yoga class card. No pre-registration required; more information is available by contacting Kitty at kitclark.moves@gmail.com.
Jala Yoga offers classes 7 days a week in the vinyasa style of yoga in which poses flow from one to another. Jala Yoga believes that yoga is accessible and necessary for everyone, and both beginners and seasoned practitioners are welcome. In the spirit of karma yoga, Jala raises money two times a year through donation events. Over this past holiday season, Jala raised $860 and three large boxes of non-perishable food items, all of which were donated to Jefferson County Community Ministries and specifically helped three local families obtain needed goods this winter.
