Pause & Breath

About This Class

This 34-minute dynamic flow with Steve Jones is built around a simple but recurring directive: "pause without pausing your breath." Opening in Vajrasana with silent Om mantras, the class moves methodically through shoulder-opening sequences, cat-cow, Down Dog, Locust, Cobra, Plank, Side Plank, and Forearm Plank variations before integrating standing balance work — Eagle Pose flowing into Warrior Three — and closing with seated hip openers, Purvottanasana (upside-down plank), a forearm variation of the same, and supine hamstring stretches leading into Savasana. Throughout, Steve emphasizes shoulder-blade stability, core engagement (belly and front-ribs), steady nasal breathing, and an attitude of curious experimentation rather than forced depth. The result is a well-rounded practice that simultaneously cultivates shoulder and upper-back strength, hamstring and hip flexibility, core control, and single-leg balance, all wrapped in a grounding, mindful atmosphere.
