It is late summer, and everyone has a different response to this time of year- some people love the heat and the long days- others are over it and counting the days until cool weather. Regardless of your response, every person can benefit from connecting with the breath, and working on certain poses to help facilitate balance in the body. Come join in this 60 minute practice to nourish your body during the heat of late summer. This is a full body practice with a focus on lengthening the inside (medial) aspect of the legs, and opening the sides of your body.
Optional props: yoga mat, blanket or towel, strap (dog leash/ karate belt), block
