Reset and Elevate Mini Retreat
A deep and challenging alternative to the myriad of Vinyasa and flowing yoga classes. A grounding hip opening practice that is potent without focusing on strength, endurance, or even building heat. Experience the benefits of holding poses a little longer, giving massive areas such as hamstrings, hips, and the seat more time to release and go deeper into poses. This is truly an amazing sequence, yet we rarely leave the floor.
