This class is accessible to a wide range of individuals. Class begins seated in a chair, with breath and movement. The class then moves into the standing poses, using the chair as needed for added stability. If wish to make the postures more intense may use the floor instead of working with the chair. Floor work is done at the end of the class (seated or lying on the floor). For those that floor work is not suitable, substitutions are available seated in a chair.
