In this yoga practice, the entire body will be awakened and attended to as we flow through a range of poses, in a slow dance. Slow, mindful movement is not only important to counter the hustle of our fast-paced lives and the continuous upregulation of our (often frazzled) nervous systems, but also to reconnect us with our bodies and their messages. We use the breath to set the rhythm and deepen our experience.
In this practice, you will need something to bring the floor closer (blocks, books, a chair).
