IMPROVE YOUR YOGA PRACTICE FROM BASICS TO EXPANSION WITH KANTA BARRIOS Allow your heart to joyfully expand and your body to strengthen and relax with Improve Your Yoga Practice From Basics to Expansion with Kanta Barrios. Take a journey of inner discovery through three progressively powerful yoga sequences. Filmed in beautiful Cancun, Mexico, this DVD provides a full body work-out which increases your circulation, opens your shoulders, strengthens your back, improves your posture, tones the legs and promotes flexibility in the thighs and hamstrings. Since each yoga sequence increases in complexity, we recommend you practice each one a few times before moving on to the next. This video is designed to improve your practice by creating a sense of expansion, freedom and well-being through connection of mind, body and breath. 1. The Basics of Expansion (24:02) The opening sequence leads you through basic poses that strengthen muscles and teach proper alignment. It includes simple shoulder and hip-openers, thigh and hamstring stretches and baby backbends to increase flexibility. 2. Mindful Dedication (24:02) Progressing more deeply into the practice, delve into a transformative hip opening sequence. 3. Joyful Expansion (32:03) Building upon the two previous sequences, Kanta introduces a third variation on the poses including twists and backbends. This is a fun and invigorating practice. 

Trained in Anusara, Ashtanga and Iyengar yoga, Kanta's classes are creative, challenging and dynamic and strongly emphasize breathing and alignment, though always with an invigorating flow and pace. The intention of each class is to cultivate strength, develop awareness and help students find balance, light-heartedness and rejuvenation within themselves. In her teaching Kanta expresses her deep love and gratitude for yoga and for her teachers and joyfully shares her lifelong experience and practice with her students. Kanta is passionate about yoga therapeutics, meditation and philosophy. She believes a steady yoga and meditation practice with a clear intention can open and strengthen the body, mind and heart and allow us to improve every aspect of our lives.
