A blend of Hatha and Anusara Yoga styles and spirituality, allowing each student to practice in the way that their body needs that day or skipping the pose if it’s painful. I focus on strength, flexibility and balance, which are all necessary for aging bodies. I sequence the class so that students are feeling capable of holding a standing balance, for example, by warming up specific muscles related to that pose. I use a theme in order to inspire my students, and try to call them by their names to promote community.
