This mixed level class will explore basic asanas (poses) with greater depth to allow each student to master postures with the “3 E’s” (Engagement, Extension, & Energy!) while building a profound connection with breath, body and mind. You will learn to inhabit each pose, thus letting the distinction between
the pose and You fall away.
