<p>Drawing heavily from Anusara’s Universal Principles of Alignment to guide students safely into each pose.</p>
<p>Classes revolve around theme, which will either be spiritual and/or physical.</p>
<p>Spiritual themes are often heart-oriented and promote the student to cultivate awareness of their thoughts and actions while inside and outside of the classroom. Physical themes have the students learn about a muscle/muscle group in the first few minutes of a class and then each pose in the class will circle back to those muscle(s) in order to heighten the awareness of the practitioner’s body.</p>
<p>Props (blankets, blocks, straps, chairs, walls) will often be used to help enhance a pose, and often times students will partner up in order to help each other maximize the benefits of a pose and create an overall feeling of community.</p>
