Curriculum

Each week we will start with a short relaxation followed by a multi-level moving warm up designed to bring increased freedom of movement and range of motion in your joints. Then we will explore a set of postures that would be commonly taught in a yoga class. The instructor encourages questions and dialogue to support your understanding of proper alignment and the muscular awakening needed to support the postures. You will be taught variations and proper use of props to make the postures suitable for all levels but most importantly your level. Each class will end with a relaxation followed by a question period.
