Focus: This class brings together a sequence of chest opening poses that will help to raise energy and lift your mood. It will help combat feelings of lethargy and depression. The class begins with some chest opening shoulder variations that naturally encourage a deeper and more energetic inhalation. The poses that follow are linked together to form a dynamic sequence.
