Intense Side Stretch or Pyramid Pose is a standing yoga posture that combines the benefits of three major movements: forward bending, backward bending and balancing. It requires intense focus and a very calm mind to balance and stay in correct alignment. Parsvottanasana helps to prepare the body for seated forward folds, backbends, inversions, and twists.

Easy Seat (Sukasana) is a basic yoga pose depicted in some of the oldest images of ancient yogis more than 2,000 years ago. Sometimes called “Simple Cross-Legged Pose”, Sukhasana is intended to be comfortable and calming, a reimagining of our posture in a new and more beneficial way.

We end each yoga class with Savasana or Corpse pose. In this posture, we practice being present and surrendering to the moment while receiving the benefits of a calm body and care-free mind. Come into Savasana after you have completed a series of postures or anytime you need to receive and rest.
