yoga lesson

Deepen your yoga journey with a pre-recorded yoga class inspired by the Eight Limbs of Yoga and centred on Ahimsa, the practice of non-violence and compassion. In this lesson, you will explore how yoga extends beyond the mat into the way you breathe, move, and relate to yourself.

This class includes Three-Part Yogic Breath, Cat-Cow, Sunbird, Sun Salutations, Warrior II, Triangle Pose, Reverse Warrior, Superman Pose, Seated Forward Fold, Reclined Bound Angle Pose, and Savasana.
