Focus
Class 2 focuses primarily on seated poses. You will revise the seated poses from the previous course and then develop them into forward bends. During this class you will learn how to practice forward bends without putting strain on your spine. Various techniques and methods are demonstrated. These techniques will help you to adapt to more advanced poses when the time is right. Notice the inward focus that is required for these poses. Forward bends can help you to feel a sense of containment and inner calm. You might find that they help to reduce anxiety.

I am not sure if I understand the ‘the upper back is contained’ expression. Can you please some more guidance on that?
Hi Rod :-),
Greetings from here, Italy 🙂
I have just started the first beginner extension course, but after the second class I can’t mark it as complete. Could you possibly have this fixed?
Glad to be practicing with you, I send ya my best wishes 🙂

Hi Francesco,
Greeting from Australia to you! I hope all is okay for you over in Italy. Well done on starting the beginner extension course. In order to mark classes complete, ensure you navigate to the class from the course page, watch the video in it’s entirety and ensure you allow it to finish spontaneously. The mark complete button will then be highlighted for you to click. I hope this helps. Please feel free to email if you have further trouble. rod@yogaselection.com
