Iyengar Yoga Extension and Elongation

Fixity and Flow

In this class we will be practicing forward extensions, focusing on the stability and “fixity” needed to create movement with intelligent action.

When we pay attention to our base, we can be creative and adventurous in our practice. Moving from the base up, you can flow in a balanced and supported manner.
