About this class

Get ready for this beautiful slow flow, close to the Earth Yoga class: Giving Over Yoga. The intention for this practice is to let go, surrender and give over to something bigger than you (whatever you might like to call that). It’s not about giving up, it’s about giving over. Enjoy the stretch in the hips, hamstrings, side body and inner thighs. Enjoy the flow in the movement and the twists of the body that will create space in your spine and open your posture. Prepare to feel the bliss with a beautiful ending of 4 deep breaths, extending your exhale. Let’s begin!

Alignment notes

When lifting off the Earth, ensure your wrist is either under the shoulder or a little further away from the body. This will protect your wrist and shoulder. Squeeze your glutes to ensure most of the weight is held in the lower part of your body.
