JM VInyasa Hips!
FRIDAY, December 5: 5-7:30P
This sweaty and fun JM Vinyasa class will focus on standing postures and hip opening postures. This class begins with a dynamic and sweaty flow and then we hit the floor to explore depth in various hip openers. Certain postures on the floor will be held for longer to give students time to feel and let go if possible. Peak poses include leg behind head, yogi dandasana, vishvamitrasana, and lizard variations. Students do not need to put their legs behind their head to attend this class, modifications will be provided. We will finish the class with breathwork and meditation.

JM VINYASA MASTER CLASS
SunDAY, december 7: 10-12p
This is Jared's classic Vinyasa class and personal yoga practice. It is a dynamic and well-rounded blend of postures from the Ashtanga and Bikram Yoga styles, sequenced to perfection. Postures are held for 5 - 10 breaths so that students have time to receive the benefits of the pose. The class begins with Forrest Inspired abdominal work to warm up the body and then flows through a sequence of standing postures. We finish the class on the floor exploring depth in our forward folds, backbends, twists, and hip openers. This class is for all levels of practitioner.
