The region just below the navel is the center of gravity in the body. Called the hara in Japan, the dantian in China and related to the second chakra in yoga, the lower belly is the source of breath and the origin of the deep life force. In this class we initiate every movement and every pose from the lower belly bringing lightness and lift to the core body without tightening or causing undo constriction.Through active and passive positions, we stretch, expand and strengthen the tissues of the lower abdomen. $55
