Upcoming classes at Heartland Point - Lifestyle - Columbus Monthly

ORRVILLE — Upcoming classes at Heartland Point, 200 N. Main St, in Orrville include:

All-Levels Yoga — Tuesdays through March 31, 5:45-6:45 p.m.

Vinyasa yoga is also referred to as flow yoga due to its relaxing, smooth, and flowing sequence of yoga poses. Your breath is the key factor in Vinyasa, as each movement is coordinated with an inhale or an exhale. Harnessing the breath with movement creates endurance in the body and a sense of meditation in the mind. All-levels classes are appropriate for beginners through advanced students to practice together. Instruction is offered during the class that is appropriate for where students are in their personal practice. Kristen Nussbaum, a 200-hour certified yoga instructor, will lead this 60-minute class each Tuesday. A package of seven can be purchased for $65, while a single session costs $10.

Aging and Options — Thursday, March 19, 5:30-6:30 p.m.
