Welcome to the Fundamentals of Yoga.  This class will move through postures slowly and with a large focus on alignment and props.  Pranayama and meditation time will also be explored.

Pranayama: 3 part breath on floor with block to fully explore the breath, will add Ujjayi.

Hip rotations to open the hips as well as leg lifts and supine cobbler.

Moving to seated and going over prop usage here. Dirgha pranayama.  hand openers to prepare for tonight’s details.

Vajrasana (Rock/Natural seat) to Runner using blocks to discover the proper movement using the muscles of the body and not just flinging the body’s parts around.  Adding runner leg stretch to open the hamstrings.  Exploring this movement at the next level of runner to forward fold and from forward fold back to runner.  These very important movements are used over and over again in most yoga classes.  When these moves are done with integrity they become easy and smooth.  One of that fastest ways to build strength and awareness.

Cat rolls, opposite arm and leg strength building.  Supine on the floor to rock the clock and bridge rolls. Supine twist with shoulder opener. Easy sit with forward fold and side stretch.   Seated twist.  Aromatherapy and Savasana.
