The 26 & 2 sequence that East Lansing and Lansing enthusiasts travel for is a fixed, therapeutic practice designed for everyone, regardless of age, flexibility, or fitness level. This series ensures consistency, allowing you to track your progress and see results with every class.
The original 26 postures and two breathing exercises work systematically through every major muscle group, joint, organ, and gland in the body.

Deep breathing exercises known as Pranayama help calm the nervous system, leading to better focus and more restful sleep.
