YOGA & Meditation

BBSVC@Ventura, Pacific View Mall

Everyone had a great time at yoga! Our instructor, Audrey, was amazing at going at a pace comfortable for all ages and skill levels. Audrey taught everyone breathing techniques to help overcome challenges and stress, and the group got used to the different poses that were used. By the end of the session, all participants were having a good time going in and out of the different poses and shapes.
