Natural Joy | Barbara Noh

In this class we will embody two complementary qualities: CONNECTING TO OUR PASSION for the natural result of EXPANSIVE JOY. We will apply tools of alignment to weave these qualities into the body and experience that our Natural Joy (Ananda) lies within. The focus will be on Kidney and Shoulder Loop. These two Loops are friendly antagonists for fine-tuning the relationship of the abdomen/mid torso and the shoulders/upper torso so that our practice becomes therapeutically beneficial. Kidney Loop stabilizes the core, balances hyper-mobility and any tendency to collapse into the mid and lower back while Shoulder Loop gives us access to more mobility in the upper back and creates space for the heart and lungs. from one pose to the next.
