Give Yourself A Hug

About This Class

Tracey Goldman leads this soulful evening flow that begins in Child's Pose and builds through Sun Salutation-style vinyasas into standing balance work (Tree Pose, Third Warrior, Crescent), dynamic twists, and hip-opening sequences including low runner's lunge and Pigeon Pose. The class weaves a consistent theme of "hugging inward to lengthen outward," encouraging students to find both physical engagement and a meditative inner focus throughout. Balance is explored both standing and on all fours, with spinal balancing variations adding playful challenge. The floor sequence closes with Happy Baby, supine twists, optional Shoulder Stand, and a long, generous Savasana. Framed as an evening healing practice, the class is ideal for releasing tension from the day, opening tight hips and hamstrings, countering the effects of sitting, and cultivating mindfulness and gratitude. The instructor consistently invites modification and personal choice, making it accessible while still dynamic.
