We are moving slowly, holding the poses longer and encouraging practitioners to safely explore their limits, focus on their breath and listen to their bodies. With regular attendance of this class, practitioners gradually and safely build up strength, endurance, flexibility, and develop body awareness in preparation for more advanced Asanas. Hands-on adjustments, props and modifications are used during the class to suit students' needs.
