Certified instructor description: A complementary combination of challenging standing yoga and relaxing, athletic-style floor stretches. Exquisitely cued by this IDEA Instructor of the Year, it's designed to provide a balance of strength, flexibility and relaxation. You'll begin with a medley of classic yoga poses, from sun salutations and childs pose to warrior and plank (taught in a straight-forward fitness style — no Eastern religion “chakras” here). The second section emphasizes breathing and thorough deep muscle stretches. Throughout, Karen's cuing is calm, precise and detailed (she even explains how to position your toes). A yoga block is used for some poses to improve balance or body position. ©2002. Formerly titled “Yoga Focus”.
