All levels welcome.
Ambu Flow 1 explores the foundations of various postures and body alignment. Students are guided through a series of yoga poses while coordinating their movement with breath. This is a good fit for beginner students who are fairly active and practice some level of regular movement. Modifications are available throughout to offer challenge to more advanced students, as well as opportunities to rest for others. A great mid-week workout. Some yoga experience is recommended for this class.

Feel strong and alive with Ambu Flow. A vigorous 75-minute vinyasa flow practice designed to stretch you muscles, and challenge your strength and balance.

Meditation
New Moon Meditations
All levels welcome, this is not a movement class.
The new moon symbolizes growth, transformation, and new beginnings, and every month it offers us an opportunity to set intentions for the coming days, while leaving behind what no longer serves us. Join us for our monthly guided meditation under the new moon – as the sun sets, together we will create space to move forward with the projects and aspirations that make us feel alive.
Because it is important to us to care for our island home and the creatures we share it with, we donate all proceeds from our new moon meditations to support the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation's Sea Turtle Research Program. This year, we have a very generous matching donor who has promised to double our impact. That means every dollar you donate will do twice as much good for the turtles.
$20 suggested donation. Please bring a towel or blanket to sit on. Public parking is available. Meet at Alison Hagerup Beach Park, 14790 Captiva Dr., Captiva, FL. This beach is labeled "South Beach" or Location #30 on South Seas resort maps. In case of inclement weather, the meditation will be held in our studio.
If you are unable to attend our New Moon Meditation but still want to support SCCF's Sea Turtle Research Program, we gladly accept donations, and they will all be matched!
