What's best is offering love to yourself! Enjoy a challenging vinyasa practice that you can work at your own pace. Explore stability, explore feeling with the movement and staying centered as you move. Sun salutations, standing poses, heart and hip opening, inversions, and a cool down are all part of this class. Namaste!

Balance for Boomers 6
By Leslie Kazadi on Dec 1, 2017
In this last session, we use the chair for support and strength in chair pose and warrior 1. Notice how squeezing into the chair with your hands connects you to your center and helps you stay steady. And how it builds more strength so that you get a sense of your whole body feeling stronger, steadier and more balanced. As you build confidence, consider stepping into and out of the warrior pose without using the chair. And you may feel ready to move on to the chair vinyasa course. It's a more challenging course with more sessions that use the chair for bigger movements and more variations. Celebrate yourself for taking time to create more balance in your body and more joy in your life!

Taking our time and tuning into the breath and starting to move with some gentle hip openers. Warm up the spine with some cat-cows and then lengthen and strengthen the spine with traction pose. Then move into this slow paced class with emphasis on taking your time and breathing with each movement. Toward the middle of we get into the much neglected toe/foot area. Have fun, take your time and breathe!
