Light Weights Practice: "Posture & Balance" No weight bearing into the knees today, except for minor transitions as needed. We start with some core warmups that also support your posture. Then we move into some standing balance movements. And finish on the floor for core and finishing poses.
Therapeutic Yoga: "Standing Flow" Get the spine mobile and the core activated, because we'll be using these pieces as we go today. Then we move into some standing flow of traditional poses.
