This class starts off with a contemplative meditation and core floor practice before moving into a steady standing flow involving some surfing-inspired movement. Attention is focused on using sensations in the body as a doorway into deeper presence and moving through difficulty or uncomfortable situations. End with a choice of backbends and seated hip and hamstring openers. Music provided by Shaman's Dream.
