2-3 pm Ireland/UK time

10-11am Eastern

Program Overview

Celebrate the season of renewal through the Benedictine principle of conversion which speaks to our capacity to grow and begin again. This lighthearted practice will include standing postures, hip and shoulder opening, gentle twists and a restorative pose. 

In our Abbey yoga classes Melinda blends principles of Benedictine and inclusive spirituality with gentle, fluid asanas (yoga postures) for an experience of contemplative movement. No prior yoga background necessary. All bodies welcome. 

The program will be recorded for those who pre-register but are unable to attend at the scheduled time.
