Are you recovering from an injury? Did you just have a baby? Then this gentle Yang yoga class is for you. We start with deepening the breath, which releases tension in the ribcage and diaphragm. Then we release tension in the neck, shoulders and spine with continuous movement. We follow this with some back strengthening and work for the abdominal muscles. For all poses, different options are given so you can adapt them to your needs. We end with some chest opening and poses to release the buttock muscles and finish up with a partly-guided Savasana. This session is great for everyone, including women who have had a baby - advisable 6 weeks to 4 months after giving birth. You'll feel energized, strong and open after this session. Props needed: blanket, pillow, bolster, blocks.
