A more gradual Adi class which still included strengthening and almost a full first half hour of sun salutes with plenty of lunges to open hips in preparation for hanumanasana. I love opportunities to practice this challenging pose and Adi's detailed, quiet instruction kept me feeling safe. And, the supported bridge and shoulder stand at the end felt so, so good. Wow. Thank you!

Challenging and calming at the same time.
