About This Class

Circles & Cycles is a richly themed 70-minute dynamic flow class that uses the metaphor of circles — seasonal, anatomical, and philosophical — as its organizing principle. The class opens with seated hip circles, Cat-Cow (Chakra Vakasana), and a gentle Bumi Namaskar (earth salutation) series to warm the body from the ground up. From there, Serge guides students through two mirrored full-body standing sequences per side, each weaving together Crescent Lunge, Warrior Two, Reverse Warrior, Side Angle, Triangle (Trikonasana), Skandasana, Standing Split, Warrior Three, and a seated spinal twist — all connected by circular transitions and the centripetal force of the body. Bow Pose (Dandasana) punctuates the midpoint, and the practice closes with Malasana, Boat Pose (Navasana), Paschimottanasana, Upavishta Konasana, supine twists, and a long Savasana. Throughout, the instructor emphasizes breath as an internal GPS, non-competition, and finding ease in each pose. The class is grounded in a meditative, philosophical tone, encouraging students to release mental rigidity and return to the heart — the center of the circle.

    A sweet class with lovely instruction but not my definition of “robust” intensity which I put in search bar.

    Serge is such a special human being. This class was exactly what I needed – soft, gentle and intelligent. What an incredibly intuitive and well thorough sequence. Serge definitely has a gift, the way he shares practice is very unique and every single of his classes has a strong golden-thread from the beginning to the end. It’s like each class has a deeper mission and theme. Thank Serge for sharing your gift!
