Intro to Yoga for Men with Bill Dorigan

In this one hour class, certified yoga teacher Bill Dorigan introduces the basic foundations for the types of poses typically taught in yoga classes. He will show how to approach the poses safely, including modifications, if necessary, to help a brand new beginner have fun in the regular classes (and at home) and begin to open up those areas of the body that tend to get tight from our various sports and other activities.
