Instructor: Doraine

Style: Gentle Yoga & Standing Balance

Level: All levels (Beginner-friendly)

Props: Optional blocks and blanket

Class Description

Step into a nourishing flow that invites you to root deeply and rise with intention. This gentle, yet energizing class begins with a seated meditation inspired by the Talmud—reminding us that growth is always unfolding, even in stillness. Through breath awareness and mindful movement, Dora guides you from grounded hip openers and gentle spinal twists into standing balance poses that challenge your focus, stability, and strength.

Expect a thoughtful blend of:

• Supine hip and spinal mobility

• Bridge variations for low back and core awakening

• Functional transitions to standing

• Standing sequences including Chair, High Lunge, and Tree pose

• Playful balance challenges with options for support or intensity

• A calming, restorative finish with time for deep rest in Savasana

Whether you’re just beginning your yoga journey or deepening your balance practice, this class offers supportive guidance, poetic cues, and a rhythm that honors both softness and strength. Leave feeling more rooted in your body and inspired to grow—just like the blade of grass with its whispering angel.
