Standing Poses with Wall Support – Weekly Intermediate Class 419

This class presents a concise standing-pose sequence that uses the wall as an intelligent support to make the practice more accessible during times of lower energy. While standing poses are naturally energising, they can be demanding when you feel tired, overheated, or are recovering from illness. The wall helps you experience their benefits without the usual expenditure of strength. In each pose, the support of the wall improves balance, reduces unnecessary muscular effort, and clarifies the vertical plane, helping you orient yourself to the essential directions of up, down, and centre. It also assists in containing potentially stiff or misaligned regions, such as the hips, preventing collapse and reinforcing healthy alignment. Through this approach, familiar poses such as Trikonasana, Parsvakonasana, Ardha Chandrasana, Virabhadrasana I, Parivrtta Trikonasana and Prasarita Padottanasana become steadier and more therapeutic, allowing you to deepen awareness while preserving energy.
