Breath first. Always. 

Everything is centered around the breath.

​With a clear focus and emphasis on the breath, you can regulate your nervous system.

Whether working on strength or relaxation – whatever is happening in class – the breath is what allows the integration and consolidation of energy.  Then, once energy is flowing, you can bring the mind and the body together (again with the breath) to create balance and ease.

Doesn't that sound inviting?
