Luna Calvo“Surf” your way through these yoga poses! Surfing the Waves is a Level 2, 30-minute class lead by Tony Giuliano, and one sure to become a favorite. The class’s style is Hatha with a focus on backbends, hips, core, and general balance. The idea is to “line up” the breath with the postures so each movement flows like water from one to the next. Enjoy standing postures, core and hip work, as well as full wheel pose, or urdhva dhanurasana. Full wheel pose is a backbend that drastically improves spinal flexibility while strengthening the arms and stretching the chest and shoulders. It’s recommended that beginner yogis attempt this pose with wide hands before pushing up, while advanced practitioners may move into the posture one leg at a time, straight up towards the ceiling. Follow Tony through this moderately paced yoga class and enjoy working on urdhva dhanurasana! Practice staying grounded while focusing on the present moment as you “Surf.”

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.
