Virtual Yoga Information:
Zoom is a free app. You can practice with your cell phone, on your computer or even hook up to your tv for better viewing if you like. It gives the option to interact before & after class if you choose to. A link and instructions will be sent to your email a few hours before the first class.
Becky will be available 15 minutes before each class to chat, answer questions and support our amazing yoga community at Assiniboine Park. At the start of class, all microphones will be muted and class will begin. If you miss a class or would like to do the class again, a recorded class link is sent out the same evening, so you can practice at a time that suits you best.
Don't have any yoga props? Get creative with couch cushions, a dog leash or belt for a strap, thick books for a block.
To help monitor in-person class sizes with changing health guidelines, registered virtual yoga participants cannot attend in-person classes.
