Vinyasa Sequence: Energize, Open, & Cleanse

This sequence Energizes by engaging an active breathing rhythm; Opens by moving the body through a wide range of postures as well as all four movements of the spine; Cleanses by bringing heat to the internal organs and muscles.

We will be learning how to move through this sequence as smoothly and freely as the Varied Sun Salutation Sequences. With this sequence, along with the Sun Salutations, we will build endurance, as well as heat and free the body enough to explore more challenging postures.
