Finding joy in our practice through hip-pelvic-posture awareness.

Using basic standing and seated Asana (postures) we will explore the relationship of the feet and legs to the pelvis and hips. This relationship can improve your overall postural integrity as well as teach your body how to move with more freedom and ease, both in your yoga practice and your daily activities.
