Class Descriptions
MONTHLY CLASS STRUCTURE
We explore postural groups or focus on a specific body part during month long intervals.
This repetition allows you to see progress and watch the subtle mind-body evolution as postures land differently for you each time you step on the mat.
​
The focus is the same in every class, with slight adjustments in pace and intensity.
