This is a hatha based class, integrating traditional yoga poses with focused breath. Movement emphasizes mindfulness. You still start with a slow and deliberate warm-up which includes a few breathing exercises. Next you will move into a structured set of poses, working all planes of the body. Poses will be held for 6-8 breaths with focus on strength. There are times of rest in this class, with no "flow." The emphasis is placed on intentional pose set-up, focused holds and slow transitions.
