Know Your Salutations

With Bridie Munro

Featherston | Lower Hutt | No need to book, standard class prices apply.

1:30-3:30 Saturday 31st August @ Featherston

1:30-3:30 Sunday 1st September @ Lower Hutt

Come and explore the form and movement patterns of Sun Salutations.

We will breakdown the body's structure and function in key areas associated with the movements of a Salutation.

By learning how to progress and regress individual movements you will be able to refine and play more in your form.

Hosted as part of Hot Yoga's 40-Day Challenge. We are starting at the Root Chakra as this sets our stable foundation.

This workshop is open for anyone wanting to explore the wide variety of expressions in asana. It is not a typical class structure, we will be breaking away from our mats, observing others and sharing our experiences. 

An open attitude is required.

In spring we are met with an opportunity for movement and change, it invites us to step forwards, outwards and to expand. Let's welcome this abundant space, warmth and vibrancy, opening movement and possibility!

If you're feeling like you could do with an uplifting dose of inspiration to revitalise and welcome in the warmer season, this afternoon is for you!
