Establishing Balance

About This Class

This energizing yet mindful flow class is built around the theme of establishing balance—both physical and mental. Tracey guides students from a settling child's pose through progressive standing sequences that include chair pose, cobras, and downward dog transitions before layering in a rich balance series: tree pose, figure-four chair, eagle, warrior III, half-moon, and a bound extended side angle. Core-activating knee-to-elbow and "awkward airplane" drills add playful challenge throughout. The second half moves through warrior II, reverse warrior, and crescent lunges on both sides, then flows to the floor for locust, bow, and cobra/upward dog before a restorative cool-down of supine hamstring stretches, thread-the-needle hip openers, supine twists, and happy baby, finishing in Shavasana. Breath awareness is woven throughout as an anchor for presence, making the class as much a mindfulness practice as a physical one.
