I sub-taught a savsani yoga class today. Wondering what savsani yoga is? Yeah, me too. I Googled it, but still don’t really understand what it is.
Anyways, I taught a gentle vinyasa at noon today. The students were really receptive to it — great breath work!

Fifty minutes is SHORT! I kept the class slow moving and pretty gentle. It was definitely still a vinyasa class (constant motion) but we worked on soothing, even breathing and grounding down through the feet.
