Yoga for Dancers - This series of yoga classes will focus on alignment and balance, will build strength through the core, and bring flexibility to the spine and legs. We will work to develop stability and support through our center in order to move on, off and through our axis bringing grace and lightness to our movement.

The asymmetry of the dance embrace and figures can eventually create imbalance and stress. Yoga will evenly work all sides of the body and reestablish the symmetry we need to stay injury free. This symmetrical work will also build strength and coordination in our less developed, more awkward side giving us the confidence to dance the figures on both sides of the embrace.
