Uplifting Breath

The poetry is in the beautiful intimacy between body and breath, which can be felt in the simplest of shapes. Sadia leads a class exploring the breath as a support for heart-opening and backbends. We begin connecting to and visualizing the full movement of the breath seated in Virasana. We use the strap to work out sticky spots in the shoulders, move through warming sun breaths, feel into the psoas, hips, and front body in mindful lunge salutes, and engage the core with the support of a block, before playing into Salabhasana. You will feel open and uplifted.
