Stretching the Body & Learn/Do Pranayama (Yogic Breathwork) on July 4

During this all levels class we will use different yoga styles (gentle yoga, yin and restorative yoga) to stretch the body gently into all directions. Stretching is so important to make sure that all of your organs, connected tissues, blood flow and therefore the energy flow in your system will work properly. As you know, everything is connected! We will use yoga props such as yoga blocks, yoga blankets, a chair and a yoga strap (alternatives are ok). The session will end with some pranayama (yogic breathwork) exercises. Breathing techniques are designed to control the flow of life force, or prana, within the body. By practicing Pranayama on a regular basis, one can improve their health, enhance their mental clarity, and achieve a sense of inner peace. You will leave this deep practice uplifted and balanced to celebrate July 4th.
