Focus

This class explores standing twists through a progressive sequence that builds alignment awareness and enhances spinal mobility. It begins with three variations of Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana, moving from the open twist of Variation II, through the more neutral Variation I, and culminating in the fully rotated Variation III. This twisting arc is then mirrored in a linked sequence of Trikonasana, Parsvottanasana, and Parivrtta Trikonasana, progressing from open to closed twists. The class concludes with a dynamic combination of Ardha Chandrasana, Virabhadrasana III, and Parivrtta Ardha Chandrasana, deepening the integration of balance, rotation, and control. This class is ideal for refining standing pose technique and developing rotational flexibility in the spine.
