This is what we do on Thanksgiving: move. sweat. breathe. laugh. yoga party.
and all for a good cause - because this is donation based practice is what community is all about - raising money to help people in our own backyard, our friends, neighbors, and each other.
When we say yoga is for everyone, this class is what we mean: a relaxed environment thatβs about tuning in, understanding the mechanics of movement, and connecting to the self. A steady, alignment based practice - lots of insightful instruction, specific movement, cueing, and limited flowing from pose to pose, oftentimes with a theme to convert complex philosophy into easy to practice everyday wisdom.
Expect: Class begins with a gradual warm-up to ready the body for larger shapes that are held for longer so they can be explained and experienced in the body. This class often has a guiding principle or idea to connect the practice to yoga philosophy and other limbs of yoga. Class will often also have breathwork, some short meditation, and encourages the use of props to support the different shapes made with the body. Some light upbeat music to no music, always with the breath being the primary focus.
Perfect for: beginners, newbies, former ashtangis, alignment lovers, anyone with mobility issues who might need more time with props, instruction, and options to modify. Experienced practitioners will still find lots of options and opportunities to enhance their own practice.
