Ariadne's Open Hearts & Open Mind
Beginner Classes
•
22m
We're thrilled to add Ariadne to our site as an instructor! In her first class, Ariadne will guide you through a short sequence to help open the heart and the shoulders. After a day of hunching at our desks and driving through traffic, we tend to gather tension in our shoulders and neck. Heart opening postures can greatly help to release that stress. Many times as we open and release body parts, it also leads to opening and relaxing the mind. This class is slow paced and should work well for the beginner student. Poses include Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward-Facing Dog), Bhujangasana (Cobra), Low Lunge, Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (Bridge Pose), Salabhasana (Locust Pose), Ardha Purvottanasana (Reverse Table) and more. As always practice safely. Enjoy!
