Focus

This class offers an in-depth exploration of twisting poses for experienced yoga practitioners. It features a well-rounded sequence that includes dynamic standing twists such as Parivrtta Trikonasana and Parivrtta Ardha Chandrasana, as well as foundational seated twists like Bharadvajasana, Ardha Matsyendrasana, and Marichyasana III. The practice concludes with a reclining twist variation of Supta Padangusthasana. Each pose is approached with precision, allowing time to establish balance, refine alignment, and methodically progress toward a deeper twist. Emphasis is placed on adjusting the twist before reaching its full depth, enabling a more stable and effective experience. A variety of prop setups are incorporated to support this approach. Twisting poses help relieve thoracic stiffness, enhance lower back mobility, and stimulate energy flow throughout the body. This class reinforces essential techniques and alignment strategies to help you gain maximum therapeutic benefit from your twisting practice.
