Healing Movement Yoga in Burbank
Downtown Burbank welcomes a new Yoga venue, MIND IN BODY. The studio focuses on Linda Lack’s The Thinking Body-The Feeling Mind® technique, which aims to explore the mind, body and breath connection incorporating Hatha Yoga, alignment and circular moving sequences. “It is a wonderful tool that can help reduce pain and minimize movement limitations,” says studio owner Molly Hagan. “The intent is to meet the student where they are in their development and help them to realize their full movement potential in a respectful, non-injurious way.” Molly previously taught at a wellness center in Glendale. “(But) I wanted the freedom to teach more classes and to create a small space where people could always get individual attention,” Molly says. She moved nearby, so she could still accommodate her existing clientele. Mind In Body is the ideal setting for a personalized practice that hosts a smaller-class size and private instruction. Mind In Body, 2313 Olive Ave. Burbank, CA 91506. mindinbody.net
