Today’s intermediate yoga class focuses on heart opening and balancing yoga postures. We will begin in a supported backbend to prepare your spine for backbend and move into some gentle side bending and cat pose. Pigeon pose will open up your hips for half moon balancing and dancer pose. We will focus on a gentle inversion today to release the standing balancing postures and backbends. From there the class will close with simple twists and forward folds. 

This week we are beginning a brand new series, Poetry in Motion. In this series we will take one poem each class and dive deep into the the themes presented in the poems in our yoga. This week we are exploring Oriah Mountain Dreamer’s The Invitation. This poem arose out of her frustration of going through the motions at a party and not getting to know what she really wanted to know about people. This poem cuts to the chase about what really matters in our lives.
