The basic alignment principles are introduced in this class, where we focus on the building the foundation of each posture and we practice the basic postures with short holds. There is a strong emphasis on working within your physical and emotional limits and a de-emphasis on performance.  You will continue to building strength, flexibility, and practice observing your experience, both physically and emotionally. It's a great place to refresh if you already have a solid practice and wish to return to the basics or simply work at a slower pace.  Once you are stronger and more flexible, we will build the repertory of postures challenge you beyond the scope of the beginner class, making the postures more challenging, sometimes working long holds and other times moving quickly through short choreography's.  Those with less experience should know how to keep within their limitations by taking easier variations while those with more experience should know how to make their practice more challenging by choosing the more advanced variations of the postures and working the alignment correctly.
