Focus

This class offers a balanced, whole-body practice designed for anyone with an ageing or stiff body. It features a diverse selection of poses from multiple asana groups, chosen for their accessibility and effectiveness in addressing common areas of restriction. The sequence helps to improve hamstring and shoulder mobility, enhance balance and posture, encourage spinal rotation, release tension in the upper back, and build overall strength – all while promoting relaxation and stress relief. The class includes therapeutic variations, standing poses, seated poses, twists, chest-opening backbends, and restorative work – all within a 65-minute format. It also troubleshoots commonly challenging poses such as Uttanasana and Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana, offering practical tips and techniques to make them more approachable. This is an excellent class to return to regularly, supporting ongoing physical and mental wellbeing while helping you to build practice momentum over time.
