Yoga for cancer patients at High Desert Yoga

HIGH DESERT YOGA is a highly respected yoga studio in the Albuquerque community. There are classes for everyone.  There are many seminars available, too. My favorite is a Tuesday cancer class given by the wonderful Patti Lentz at 11:15. Just show up. Mats and other tools of the trade are available for use. It is free. It is restorative yoga. While I have been ill, Patti’s class has been a life savor for me. Check it out.
