At Home Program: Level 4, Month 1

This core focused experience is geared to provide balance and strength to the hips and spine. Many of us spend a lot of time sitting in chairs, at desks and driving in cars. Let this thirty minute lesson refresh your hip joints and move them from a tight, closed position into new shapes that open and strengthen your abdominal core in every range of motion.

Try pose variations with blocks that spark heat, muscular engagement and awareness like our take on child’s pose. You may never look at your yoga blocks or child’s pose the same way ever again. While this class is challenging there are interludes of soothing and lengthening poses like the Leg Stretch Series on a block and head to knee pose. These shapes bring attention to the front, back, and sides of your hips and inspire deep movement.

Maintain your mental focus during transition poses like seated staff pose and give your body plenty of time to integrate its growing strength. These seemingly calm moments between exercises will take on new meanings as you deliver energy, integrity and awareness into them.
