Shift & Stretch

Incorporating stretches into your lifestyle can help to reduce stress and improve your range of motion. In this series, we will shift from one pose to another through a gentle flow and land in steady stretches you can do post-workout or throughout your day.

50 min | All Levels

What you’ll need

2 Yoga blocks, firm cushions, or books
Yoga strap, scarf, towel, or cloth belt

Benefits

More Healthy, Less Stressed

Improve balance and circulation, build core strength, and activate the calming part of the nervous system with a regular practice of two to three days per week.

Gentle and Relaxed Practice

Hatha Yoga centers the breath, controlled movements, and alignment. Both new and returning yogis find ease from its slower pace and tender approach.

Breakdown of Yoga Postures

Build precision and learn modifications that cater to the body. With this solid foundation, other styles of yoga and advanced poses may be practiced safely.
