Points of Contact

About This Class

This approachable flow class invites practitioners to tune into the physical "points of contact" between body and earth as a gateway to presence and self-discovery. Dan opens with child's pose and a three-part breath exercise, then guides students through a thoughtful sequence that includes Downward Facing Dog, Plank, Cobra, Crescent Pose, Warrior Three, Chair Pose, chair twists, Skandasana, Navasana (boat pose), balancing happy baby, and a V-sit with lift-offs. The instructor weaves philosophical reflection on breath (including Ujjayi Pranayama), ease in difficulty, and honest experience throughout. Balance challenges — like one-armed Downward Dog variations and standing splits — add a playful element, while forward folds and supine twists offer release. The class closes with Bridge Pose, supine twists, and Shavasana. Modifications (bent knees, fingertips instead of palms, mouth breathing) are consistently offered, making the practice accessible while still stimulating for more experienced students.
