A combination of seated, standing and supine poses, resetting “Vinyasas” and Sun Salutations are integrated to lengthen and strengthen the body, improve balance, increase flexibility, enhance range of motion, promote focus, and evoke mental clarity. All offerings are optional and you should cater your practice to what works best for you.
