A slow, grounding practice that targets the body’s deeper layers (connective tissues, fascia, and joints) through long-held floor poses. In the soft glow of candlelight, you’ll explore gentle but intense stretches that open the hips, spine, and shoulders while cultivating patience and inner stillness.
