Take 20 minutes to nurture your body and kickstart the day!

We all have those days where our schedules are very demanding. 

On those days it is even more important to nurture ourselves and carve out some quality time for our practice. 

In this active class, we will move from standing poses into twists, forward bending, back-bending, abdominal work, and restorative poses. The flow first thing in the morning is a wake-up call to stimulate, move energy, and finally, relax and set your intentions for the day. This invigorating class will activate the structural body as well as the organic body. Your mind will be fresh, awake, and ready to start your day. 

You can also use this as a guide and start moving on the mat, when you are not sure what to do yet on your daily practice.
