It is different from gentle or yin yoga; there is no stretching or effort involved. In this class, you just sit back and relax! The practice has been shown to have many health benefits including reduced heart rate and blood pressure, increased immunity, decreased insomnia and relief from hot flashes.
May Louie first took yoga in college to fulfill a Phys-Ed requirement and immediately fell in love. She, unfortunately, did not continue with her practice but reconnected with it when she retired from her corporate job in 2002 and has since become a serious yoga enthusiast. After her second retirement last year, she completed her 200-hour RYT certification, studying with Dina Crosta, Ellen Mosko, and Jamie Segal Hanley, with a focus on alignment based flow.
