Transitions: Lifting Up and Jumping Back (1:00pm-3:00pm)

While lifting up, jumping back, and jumping through may seem daunting at first, this course lays the groundwork to begin building the core strength and bandha awareness that allows you to access these transitions. Learn how to begin moving through these transitions with ease to bring grace and fluidity to your practice. This is a fun and challenging workshop for ALL LEVELS of practitioners.
