Hatha for Upper Body

Class Five: Balancing the Scales. The front and back of our upper body and shoulders are intimately connected in a fine balance. In this class, we’ll look at improving the overall muscle tone and balance of this area for better posture in asana and then see how this impacts our overall practice. In this eight-week hatha series, we’ll apply a specific focus to each class as we hone in on the areas of our hips, shoulders, and chest and learn a beautiful sequence. This series will engage you in a sequence where in each class you will learn new tools for addressing the areas of your shoulders/upper body and hips. Learning the ways in which these tools change the experience of the practice as a whole will be a fun discovery! Different practices will be added each week as new parts of the body are explored and you’ll feel how working in concentrated areas impacts your overall practice. By the eighth class you'll be able to apply new lessons as you move through their final practice. Come prepared to grow as a practitioner, learn new things, discover new facts about your anatomy, and enjoy a balanced, meditative and fun hatha practice.
