Tuqui ManciaHappy Hamstrings
A fantastic warmup class that takes you on a “hamstring journey,” teacher Tony Giuliano moves the class along at a nice pace and encourages everyone to laugh and have a good time. A Hatha style class focusing on increasing strength and power in the hamstrings, it also increases strength in the body as a whole. Tony likens the hamstrings to the roots of trees, as they draw energy up and through the body while also “shooting you back down into the earth.” He also encourages his practitioners to notice areas of tightness and tension in the legs, and to breathe through said tension. A Level 2, 30minute class, it reaches its apex with Hanumanasana and vasisthasana. Hanumanasana, or Monkey Pose, pushes one leg forward and one leg backwards until a splits position is formed. Vasisthasana, or Side Plank Pose, is exactly how it sounds, with this yoga class taking the posture to its more advanced level, or one leg extended in the air.

Tony's devotion to the path of yoga fills his classes with both knowledge and intensity, while his big heart lends sweetness and compassion. His classes are infused with biomechanics, philosophy, breath work and a healthy dose of humor. Tony views teaching as a live collaboration and he loves to encourage students to experience and explore the movement arts. He pulls inspiration from his diverse artistic background and this, in turn, creates the vision and voice for his teachings. Tony's greatest joy is in helping to awaken new students' passion for yoga and to see new and seasoned practitioners find deep freedom and self-expression in the context of a safe and loving environment.
