Restorative Forward Bends with a Chair – Weekly Advanced Class 411

This class presents a restorative sequence of forward bends with a chair designed for times when your energy is low or your system feels depleted. The poses are supported with a chair and bolster to encourage quiet, sustained openings and an easy, unforced breath. The sequence highlights how forward bends can soothe the nervous system and restore vitality, while promoting chest opening and freedom through the diaphragm. By supporting the head and chest, the poses invite the intercostal muscles and rib cage to move with ease, enhancing breath awareness without muscular strain. Variations of Sukhasana, Janu Sirsasana, Triang Mukhaikapada Paschimottanasana, Viparita Dandasana, Viparita Karani, and Savasana are included to help you release tension and cultivate calmness and balance.
