Join us for a dynamic yoga workshop where we’ll explore the alignment of common poses, beginning with the fundamentals of Surya Namaskar A (Sun Salutation A). This workshop is designed to help you refine your alignment, enhance your awareness, and bring a fresh perspective to your practice.

We’ll explore various poses using props such as blocks, straps, and blankets to support, modify, and deepen your understanding and experience of each pose.

These tools will help you build strength, improve your alignment, and gain a deeper understanding of how each movement in the sequence supports the next.
