The morning sessions will be grounding and include detailed pranayama and breath work, specifically looking at how the breath can be incorporated into asana practice for a more embodied experience.
The evening sessions will be workshops working sequentially through standing postures, twists, forward folds, and seated poses, backbends, inversions and finally long held restorative postures utilizing props.
