This is a wonderful, active sequence! We start off with wrist warm ups, and then add in shoulders and hips. From there we first work on extension and flexion in the spine, this work can help lengthen and decompress the spine, giving us more room to twist. From there we build in twisting, first from a neutral spine and then with a side bend. All of these variations really help to access the full range of motion of the spine. We then use this in our standing twisting poses. The class was filmed live September 13, 2021.
For this class you will need a long band with a loop in it, a door knob and blanket or paper plate/plastic bag for sliding. Being able to control when and what is moving is important.
In this class we work on not rotating even when under tension from the resistance band. You might notice one side is easier than the other, or that this is surprisingly challenging. Anti-rotation work helps improve balance, stability, core strength and awareness. We use this skills throughout class in balancing poses and when we intentionally do rotate in standing poses.
