Here in California, we are coming to the end of what has been a difficult fire season. As an offering to everyone who has been impacted by smoke and hot weather, the focus of our practice today is on building spaciousness, allowing what is, and creating relaxation and ease physically. Our 60 minute class builds toward half moon pose (ardha chandrasana), where you can find equal grounding and spaciousness.
Please work with your unique right effort and enjoy.
Necessary props: strap (dog leash/ karate belt), blocks or stable chair.
Optional props: yoga mat, blanket or towel

Remember - modify as needed. Don't do anything that doesn't feel safe. Use support as needed during standing exercises and use a chair for getting down on the ground and back up if you need it!
