Yoga Foundations

Foundations

All Levels

The central work at Second Circle is something we like to call “repatterning.” Our focus is not just strength and flexibility, but also about the way they’re organized.

In Foundations we emphasize stability and functional alignment. We don’t do much on the wrists in Foundations, there’s one Down Dog, no planks, and no chaturangas. This ritualized class sequence targets the legs, hips, and core to create the groundwork for healthy movement in everything you do.

Foundations is the centerpiece of Beyond Hot Yoga (North Atlantic Books, 2021) by Kyle Ferguson and Anthony Grudin.

Chris in Power Pose, one of the most challenging positions in the Foundations sequence. Core strength, spinal flexion, shoulder mobility, and powerful legs are required to make this one work. Also, a righteous attitude and good humor.
