“If you want to change you have to be willing to be uncomfortable.”    
     
Are you ready to push through your personal boundaries and use your yoga practice to expand and evolve physically, emotionally, and mentally? On the yoga mat and off, we tend to slip into comfortable patterns. Consistency is something to strive for, but it can be a slippery slope and if we aren’t paying attention we can end up in a rut.

Change doesn’t have to be dramatic to be impactful. Small tweaks can have as much influence as intense moves in creating a shift in your body, heart, and mind. This week’s classes are designed to give you an avenue into something new and exciting. Check them out!

FEATURED POSE: MOUNTAIN POSE

Mountain Pose (Tadasana)

Other Names:
-Raised Hands Pose (arms up
-Upward Salute (arms up)
-Samastitihi (arms by sides or with hands in a prayer position)

Benefits:
-Provides the physical and mental foundation for many other postures
-Lengthens and aligns your spine while improving posture
-Improves focus and concentration
-Stretches chest and shoulders
-Strengthens upper back and legs
 
Modifications:
-You can stand against a wall if needed
-You can also squeeze a block in between your thighs or shins to find more stability and length
