Challenge Overview

Approachable Classes That Fit Into Your Workday

If you’re new to yoga or are looking for an approachable class that you can fit into your workday, these basic yoga sequences are for you. All of the classes are approximately twenty minutes long, making them conducive to a busy schedule. You’ll receive step-by-step instruction in practices that are designed to help you relieve tightness and refuel your energy. To target common areas of tension, like the head, neck, shoulders, and lower back, Shari guides you through accessible exercises, offering you suggestions along the way so that you can modify them to suit your needs. You’ll also do some strength-building work, and you’ll explore balance poses, which you can do using the support of a chair, if you wish.

Most importantly, the focus will be on breathing well as you move and on aligning your body so you can practice safely and confidently. All of the classes conclude with a guided relaxation you can do seated in a chair or lying down.

The classes are: Standing Movement, On the Floor Movement, Movement Using a Wall, Movement Using a Chair, and Movement on the Mat.

Let Shari guide you, focus on your breath, and have fun with this program!
