Putting Down Roots; Growing Light
Being grounded is the essential foundation for the physical and meditative practice of yoga. Indeed it is said that that lightness only comes from conscious heaviness. In this class we will take an in depth look at the feet, legs, and hips using poses such as hip openers, standing poses, and balances to seek the strong ground from which many asanas bloom to become light and juicy.

Liberating the Upper Body
Few of us are immune from the stress of modern life. This tension often settles as tight necks and sore upper backs and is as unwelcome as a winter coat on a summer day. These habits can be eased from the body with patient, strategic action that promotes consciousness where one has previously been unaware. We will explore this newfound liberation in a slow flowing practice that includes chest openers, twists and backbends.
Passionate about yoga since the early 70’s Barbara Benagh taught the Iyengar method until 1986 before beginning studies with Angela Farmer who encouraged her to follow her own powerful voice. Described by Yoga Journal as “one of the most insightful and intelligent teachers around” her authentic teaching style continues to evolve. She directed The Yoga Studio in Boston for over 23 years and is a founding director of Yoga 301, a multi-discipline center in Cambridge, MA. Barbara is an avid fan of cycling and baseball.
