Master Class – Creating Balance

Master Class – Creating Balance

Creating Balance - Sequencing a Yang + Yin Class with Jenna Switzer and Stéphane Ippersiel February 23-25, 2018 For ALL Yoga Teachers and Students! Yang + Yin Yoga blends two styles of yoga into one practice to combine the benefits of  dynamic sequences and standing postures with more passively held yoga poses. Yang is the masculine principle - light, active, outward, moving, hot, retrospective. Yang Yoga builds on these principles and through traditional asana based practices helps us to strengthen and tone the body, improve flexibility and circulation, increase stamina, synchronize movement with breath, and remove tension and obstacles in the body to allow the breath and prana to flow.
