Level: Intermediate

This 1-hour virtual movement class combines dance and yoga. First half of class: feel your spirits lift as we dance (simple steps, low impact) to joyful, inspiring, and soothing music selections from around the world. Second half of class: tune in more deeply to the body and breath with slow and gentle somatic-based yoga sequences. This is an intermediate level class which involves standing, dancing, and getting up and down from the floor. You are encouraged to exercise choice in this class and to modify the movements as needed. Please listen to and honor your body’s wisdom. You might find it helpful to bring a yoga mat and/or a small blanket for floorwork.
