In class today we look at the key actions of arm balancing! Along the way, we take a good amount of time to unpack uddiyana bandha (the belly lock) to support our attempts at taking flight. By the end of class, we try to put everything together in bakasana (crow pose).

Basic/Int) Get in the Kula Flow! Kula style yoga is a deep, challenging practice that will make you stronger and more flexible on the outside and softer (and more flexible) on the inside.

Open to beginners as well as those wanting a slower paced vinyasa class or those who wish to reconnect with the fundamentals of alignment and flow style yoga. Though we like to emphasize that these are not so much yoga basics classes (there are plenty of those around the city), as basic Kula style classes.
