Classes will work towards providing you with a complete practice of dynamic standing breath work, as well as specific exercises for energy cultivation and toning of the energetic anatomy.

This stretch and strength class uses core strengthening techniques drawn from Pilates, dance and fitness systems and specific-focus muscle training, as well as deep yogic stretching to form a complete body workout. An innovative and completely engaging workout, the intensity can be modulated to fit your needs and desires.
