As yoga practitioners, we strive to instill the principles of sthira (stability, steadiness, rootedness) & sukha (ease, sweetness, spaciousness) into every shape & transition throughout a class. This 75 minute practice focuses on just that, working to find stability in your feet & lower body and fluidity in the breath & upper body. Begin seated, linking your breath to upper body movements that we’ll revisit throughout class, move into a repetitive standing sequence of lunges, warrior II & IT Band/piriformis openers that gradually builds on itself, and end in grounded hip openers. Class culminates in a sweet 7 minute savasana. This class is appropriate for all bodies: pregnant practitioners, those working with injuries, advanced yogis, those returning to the practice after a hiatus, etc. 2 blocks & a blanket are helpful for this practice.
