Each month will feature a different theme. See below for each month's focus and description:
MARCH 26, 2024: BASICS & STRETCH
This rendition focuses on beginner level yoga poses with variations offered for those who seek more challenge. We’ll use each other’s bodies to enhance postures for stretching in reclined, seated, kneeling, and standing poses. We’ll also move through short flows with partners to find steady connection, communication, and confidence together. This class is great for beginner yogis, those who need more stretching activities, and those who enjoy moving at a slower pace.
APRIL 23, 2024: BREATHE & FLOW
This rendition will be designed for sharpening the mind and finding steady inner and outer "listening" and "watching" connection. We'll build easy sun salutations and flows together that will be practiced on your own at first to discover your own rhythm. Then we’ll try facing partners in pairs, then in groups of 3-4. Our goal will be to use our breath to find ease with steady rhythm, and eb & flow. We’ll finish with some gentle massage exchange in small groups, and a brief meditation. Great for people looking for exercises to improve memory and spacial awareness, and move at a quicker pace.
MAY 28 AND 29, 2024: TANTRA & TOUCH
This rendition will focus on self love and love for others using the power of touch and massage with yoga. We'll begin with breathing together and how to define boundaries for ourselves, followed by a brief sun salutation to warm up and bring awareness and activation to our bodies before moving into rotating partner work. This will involve sharing weight, exchanging erotic and sensual touch, and cultivating/transforming healthy sexual energy with each other. Great for people who wish to experience the power of touch and explore their roles as both givers and receivers of erotic touch. *This class will involve strong emphasis on sexual exploration.
