For this class you will need blocks, a strap, and possibly a bolster. We start off slow, laying down and getting centered. From there we take some playful movements rolling from our backs to side lying in anantasana pose. In standing we repeat familiar shapes in the wide legged poses, triangle and side angle pose. At the end of class you have the option of trying a blend of bridge pose and legs up the wall using the bolster. This class was filmed live December 21, 2021.
Goddess Flow for Backbending
In this class you will need a strap, two blankets, and blocks. Try out this novel reclining warm up. We use the strap for leg stretches and then roll into side lying for Anantasana pose. From there we continue to warm up the feet, ankles, knees and hips while standing. This all helps us to access the goddess flow for hip opening and strengthening. All of this mobility work aids in our backbends. See how purvotonasana can give you an extra boost in the belly down backbends! This class was filmed live December 11, 2021.
