Description
This gentle and restorative class is focused on building strength and flexibility in all the right places for those bodies experiencing the effects of age and gravity. It is also appropriate for students of any age who need a slower-paced class and those recovering from pregnancy, travel, injury, or illness. Use of alignment, props, modifications and timings create space and allow the body to unwind and generate its inherent healing intelligence. Conclude with guided breath work, pranayama, to explore and master subtle body energies. Set the tone for a peaceful night’s sleep.
