In this hour long yoga class, we start slow in a gentle and conscious warmup, but we do end up building up towards a somewhat fast paced vinyasa flow practice that gets us warm, strong, and open in preparation for a deep hip opener called Padmasana, also known as lotus pose. In addition to opening the hips, we strengthen the core a bit, and the side body and shoulders get some stretchy love too. I'd call this class hovering around intermediate, although I think an experienced beginner could gain from this class as well with modifications. A quiet Savasana is included at the end of practice.
