When the hips and spinal muscles are stiff, seated yoga poses -- especially forward folds -- can feel quite restricted. In class today, we look at a couple key actions in our standing poses that will start to prepare the body for the efforts of some common seated poses.
(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.)

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.
