Starting July, for 5 weeks. 6:30 pm - 8 pm EDT.
Each class will be recorded for those who miss this practice. Traditional Hatha Yoga is breath-based experience for anybody inspired by the teachings from the Sivananda ashrams. The poses are sometimes challenging and take weeks, months, or years but progress and the deeper layers of the practice are felt in every opportunity to practice. In each class you will be invited to practice breath-work, warm up, move your spine in all six directions, try simple inversions, forward bends, backward bends, twists, lateral stretches, and balancing poses.
This class doesn't adapt poses as thoroughly as a gentle yoga course and is for a beginner who is willing to work patiently, otherwise better for a person who can physically practice the movements of a sun salutation without pain. Adaptations are offered, but this may not be suitable for everyone's first class.
The class will be loosely based upon the structure from the Sivananda Yoga Ashrams, but varied with alignment cues and variations Anjali has learned from many teachers as well as her own practice.
