This is an All Levels Foundations of Yoga class recorded live at Yoga Birds. In this episode, we awaken muscles and energy in our legs and core to help us stand up lightly in places like the local Post Office. Enjoy. Namaste!
Partner Yoga Workshop
The Joy of Partner Yoga
This playful workshop explores yoga by utilizing a partner to share postures, increase stretches, add stability to poses, and improve balance. While making conscious contact through your breathing, touch, and awareness, your partner’s presence co-creates an alignment that not only supports the physical body, but also touches the emotions and embraces the soul. Sign up with a friend or pair up with a classmate. Basic knowledge of yoga and previous yoga experience is helpful but not required.
