Intermediate Hatha 75
with Kate Rivard

In this warming class we explore movement with breath and deepen our understanding of how inextricably linked these two things are.  Postures are practiced to align, strengthen and promote balance in the body.  We make a full circuit of the body’s range of motion with standing postures,  twists, backbends, forward folds, hip openers and arm balance. We coordinate breath and mindful movement to generate strong and grounded stability in our practice.  Slowing down the practice will help you connect to a more graceful and steady movement in your body as well as build strength and stability in arm balances and fundamental movement patterns. 

You can expect an emphasis on repetition, ease of movement and exploration of movement patterns, dynamic flows and key postures that benefit and balance your body.  The rhythm and mindfulness of this practice promotes relaxation and stability.
