Through gently flowing sequences of standing postures and balances, combined with floor stretches held for deep opening, Yoga Therapy Basics offers both appropriate challenge and relaxation. As students explore poses they will also learn the life metaphors associated with the postures, bringing an emotional and spiritual component to their physical yoga practice. Complimentary breathing techniques to de-stress and shift state of mind quickly will be interwoven along with simple teachings from the Yoga Sutras that help us cultivate lasting inner peace.
