The class begins gently and gradually builds into variations of sun salutations to get the blood flowing and awaken the energy centers in the body. Once the body lies down after the standing flow, it is like a sponge and soaks in the guided meditation to rest and let go deeply. In stillness, you pause, let go of what's not serving you, to release, relax and fill up on peace. Experience tranquility.
