Focus

This class is designed to help you transition confidently from the beginner syllabus into the intermediate level of Yoga Selection. It consolidates key techniques from the previous class on foundational standing poses and extends them with new challenges. Core asanas such as Trikonasana, Virabhadrasana II, Parsvakonasana, and Parsvottanasana are revisited with refinements, while more complex poses like Ardha Chandrasana and Parivrtta Trikonasana are introduced to develop balance and basic understanding of spinal twists. The class also supports your progression into basic inversions, featuring a strengthening preparation for Sirsasana and a restorative approach to Viparita Karani. Ideal for students who have completed the beginner courses, this sequence bridges the gap into the intermediate syllabus with clear, methodical instruction.
