This class is designed for the individual who has tight muscles and feels inflexible. Range of motion is addressed using a joint freeing system to create more movement in the tight muscles. Strength is added to the weak muscles. Breathing techniques are incorporated into the movements creating more awareness and openness in the postures.

Internalizing the attention is an important component in freeing the body of its unconscious cycles of conditioned behaviors.
