Hatha Yoga Sivananda Style

All are welcome to experience an hour and a half of breathing and stretching of the mind.

Classes start with relaxation (Savasana) followed by cleansing and breathing exercises (Pranayama).  The warm-up (Sun Salutation, single and double leg raises) prepares the body for the practice of 12 basic postures (Asanas).  Each posture is followed by a relaxation so the body can recover and be ready for the next posture.  A final and longer relaxation brings the body into an energized state.
