Steady Flow is a new weekly class at Santa Barbara Yoga Center that offers an integrated Hatha practice where movement, breathing, and focused attention come together as a single experience. Sessions unfold at a calm, steady pace and invite close engagement with your body as a complete system, recognizing how it carries information, responds to pacing, and settles when the right conditions are present. The teaching approach aligns with the perspective shared through Steady Self School and is offered here in an in-person setting. Suitable for every level. Donation based with a suggested contribution of $15 to $20.
