Focus

This 30-minute class features standing poses practiced with the front foot placed up the wall—heel grounded and ball of the foot pressing upward at a 45-degree angle. This unique setup enhances your ability to rotate the pelvis and chest together, helping to activate often-neglected areas of the body in twisting standing poses. By bringing you closer to the wall, it also allows the upper arm to press against it for additional leverage, deepening the rotational actions in poses such as Trikonasana, Parsvakonasana, Parsvottanasana, and Parivrtta Trikonasana. Ideal for busy days or as a targeted supplement to longer sessions, this class builds integrated twisting awareness and prepares the body for more advanced standing and seated twist work.
