By focusing on gentle yoga poses for flexibility, this practice helps bridge the gap between effort and ease, allowing you to safely explore your physical boundaries. Using simple props like blocks and a strap, this Rodney Yee yoga flow emphasizes alignment and breath to create space in the joints and spine.
