There's a saying amongst gym rats that you should never skip leg day; perhaps, the corollary for yogis is that we should never miss an opportunity to strengthen our legs because we spend a lot of time stretching them. In class today, we stretch and strengthen the legs in preparation for virabhadrasana iii (warrior three pose). Yogis can rejoice that this sequence will help you develop a better relationship with this challenging pose; gym rats take note -- this class will help you improve your relationship with Single Leg Romanian Dead Lifts (if you are into that sort of thing).
(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. You are never too tight, too tall or too weak to begin. (There’s nothing we can do if you’re too much of a procrastinator to get here.) 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.
