Intro to Hatha Sun Salutations
Sun Salutations, otherwise known as Surya Namaskara, is a common sequence of Hatha yoga asanas (body positions). The physical base of the practice links together twelve asanas in a dynamically performed series. These asanas are ordered so that they alternately stretch the spine backwards and forwards. When performed in the usual way, each asana is moved into with alternate inhalation and exhalation. This course is meant to be a complete series of movements covering all bases strength, flexibility and balance. Suitable for beginners and novices.

Learn to utilize and strengthen your powerhouse: your deep abdominal muscles, obliques and lower back. We will be using methods from both the Yoga and Pilates traditions. Suitable for all levels of ability.
