Hips, Core, Explore Yoga with Svia

I have been offering this signature class for over 13 years now. We have a core group of regulars who show up frequently with an open mind and trust. The setting is warm and inviting and the yoga is different every week. The hips complete the marriage of the lower half of the body with the upper half. A healthy hip joint includes stability from well toned deep abdominal (core) muscles, a strong back and a degree of elasticity throughout the body. This class will complement the active Anchorage lifestyle by preparing the body to absorb the shock of hiking, biking, running, skiing, etc. The hips hold a treasure trove of emotions, secrets, and history. When we focus a regular asana practice around the hips, it is natural for more profound layers of the body to unfurl, release and eventually heal. Explore unique hip-opening postures with some longer holds and fun ways to build strength in the core and beyond. Classes will vary from week to week depending on the intention, theme and community present. Practice may include any of the following: warming flows, longer holds, some advanced postures, inversions, chanting, and pranayama. All Are Welcome. Drop-in: $15 minimum. 10-class punch card: $135
