Focus

This therapeutic class presents a gentle, restorative sequence of hip and groin opening poses designed to release tension and create a sense of ease in the lower body and abdomen. Using bolsters, blankets, and blocks in carefully considered ways, the practice focuses on softly opening the adductors and pelvic floor while encouraging spaciousness and relaxation in the abdominal region. Supported variations of seated and squatting poses are used to gradually release restriction without strain, avoiding actions that compress or contract the abdomen. The sequence also includes poses that help free the movement of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, supporting smoother, more relaxed breathing. The class avoids lying directly on the back and concludes with a deeply restful, side-lying supported savasana, leaving you feeling calm, replenished, and gently rejuvenated.
