Uttanasana: Going Deeper – Weekly Advanced Class 329

Deepen your exploration of Uttanasana with this companion class, designed to seamlessly extend your practice of the “standing forward bend”. Building upon the foundational techniques, variations, and applications introduced in Advanced Class 306, this sequence delves further into the subtleties and complexities of Uttanasana, enriching your practice. We place a special emphasis on the classical form of the pose, along with innovative variations that isolate and refine key actions and techniques. This class is crafted to deepen your understanding of Uttanasana, making it an ideal progression for those who have practiced the foundational class. As in our first class, we continue to utilise supportive props such as yoga chairs, blocks, and walls, but in ways that enhance your experience and deepen the pose. The class not only revisits the core principles of alignment and spinal support but also introduce you to more challenging aspects of Uttanasana and its variations. This class is perfect for those looking to deepen their practice and gain a more nuanced understanding of this fundamental asana.
