This zoom class uses a slower pace of movement to focus on body awareness and a balance of strength and mobility. Breath technique is used throughout - to engage your core, relax your nervous system, and release muscle tension.

In yoga, movement and breath are equal partners in promoting strength, self-awareness, and relaxation. In this class, we work on overall strength and mobility, with an emphasis on poses that increase core strength and balance. We use breathing techniques for core engagement and others for relaxation. This class is appropriate for beginners and for those looking to focus on fundamentals. Props are used strategically to maximize the strength-building and relaxing qualities of the poses. Chairs are used to progress in balancing sequences and to build endurance in positions like plank pose. Blocks and straps are used to make stretching more comfortable, to allow access to deep breathing, and to enhance the stress-relieving potential of the practice.

This class is offering three times per year - fall, winter, and spring as an 8 week session.

Prepare your body and mind for whatever the day brings with breath, mobility, and stretch. Learn breathing techniques for focus, gentle core engagement, and relaxation. On top of breath, you’ll layer movement that focuses on mobilizing your spine and other joints and dynamically stretching muscles. Some longer-held stretches will be included to work with connective tissue, your nervous system, and a meditative focus. Props and variations will be offered to allow you to customize your practice.
