Description

Brandon Copeland's signature Trap Yoga class gets us comfortable with living walls and tiled shower rooms at Eaton Wellness. This combination of high paced, active Ashtanga yoga and deep Southern bass is the experience of a lifetime. The spiritual practice of yoga, when coupled with the explosive baselines of a soulfully rooted sound, feels electric. This experience is for students that embody the Khepera Wellness motto of “Evolve Your Self” – no yoga experience required. The motivational sounds are coupled with caring instruction; this means that you will be given options to challenge yourself at every stage of your practice (beginner to experienced) while being encouraged to listen to your body and breath. All are welcome. Showers, private lockers and changing rooms are accessible before and after class. Capacity for in-person yoga will be limited, and masks will be required. After November 1st, 2021, we will require guests to provid proof of vaccination or negative COVID test results within the previous 72 hours of your visit.
