Classes build endurance, flexibility, and strength. A basic knowledge of yoga practice is recommended. Please bring your own mat. A few mats will be available for general use. Instructor Ann Marie Engasser began her yoga practice 8 years ago her in Athens with Nita at the Yoga Monkey. At the time she was recovering from a long illness and yoga reintroduced her to her body and she became more physically fit. Yoga became much more than just physical exercise over the years until she was motivated to enroll and complete the 200hr Teacher Training program at Satya in Rhinebeck last year.
