Alignment 1

This class will use the application of an alignment yoga practice to address students’ specific health and physical challenges that may not normally be addressed in a group class. The goal is to alleviate or reduce symptoms such as pain and muscle tension and stiffness, and also work proactively to restore balance in the body by using presence and awareness as techniques for healing.

The class will maintain a slower pace and have a primary focus on using props such as chairs, straps, and blocks, to allow all students to access the benefits of various asanas, with modifications for any physical limitations. The goal is to increase range of motion, build strength and flexibility, and work with the specific challenges of each student. The class content will be determined largely by the individuals participating in the class.

Please note that this class is not a substitute for medical care and oversight of an injury or illness. Students should have the approval from their physician to participate in a group exercise class.
