Stretch, Flow & Balance - All Levels

About this event

This yoga class includes a variety of postures, stretches, and balancing exercises to engage you with the full spectrum of your individual body, promoting awareness, strength, mobility, balance, flexibility, and relaxation. Class begins with anchoring your awareness in the present with body, breath, and audible anchors. Then moves into slow functional movements to wake up the joints and activate muscles. Followed by a creative flow, either targeting certain areas of the body, focusing on different themes, or helping to build certain abilities, such as strength, flexibility or balance. Cool down explores floor based postures including passive, active, and resistance stretches. Final resting pose may include a guided meditation or breath-work. Barbara teaches yoga asana (postures) based on the foundations of body biomechanics*.

It includes how we hold our bodies when we sit, stand, lift, carry, bend, and sleep. Good body mechanics means using the body's strength to the best mechanical advantage to do a task efficiently and without injury.
