This class builds strength and steadiness through a progressive sequence of poses. The class leads to a peak pose or action within a pose so that students can increase their range of motion over time and develop good movement patterns both in and out of the yoga room. The emphasis is on finding proper alignment in the pose and using the breath to cultivate courage and mindfulness. By balancing the flow of energy in the body, and becoming aware of how various parts of ourselves are integrated and interconnected in our yoga practice, we can experience both stability, freedom, and a greater sense of fulfilment both on the mat and in our everyday lives.
