Restorative Yoga Sequence – Weekly Intermediate Class 339

This class blends supported forward bends, standing poses and restorative asanas to create a therapeutic and rejuvenating sequence. The class is designed to enhance energy conservation while simultaneously freeing up the diaphragm’s movement, leading to increased breath awareness. You will explore a variety of key poses, including ardha chandrasana, janu sirsasana, triang mukhaikapada paschimottanasana, supta baddha konasana, viparita dandasana, viparita karani, setu bandha sarvangasana, and savasana. These poses are chosen not only for their physical benefits but also for their capacity to expand the intercostal muscles and allow the ribcage greater freedom of movement. The class focuses particularly on inhalation techniques to boost your energy levels while encouraging full body relaxation. It touches on Ujjayi pranayama, a breathing practice that promotes longer, deeper inhalations and exhalations, ideal for revitalising and uplifting both body and mind. This class is perfect for those seeking to improve health and wellbeing through supported asanas and mindful breathing, providing an energetic lift while ensuring complete relaxation. It is especially beneficial for soothing the nervous system and reducing stress and anxiety, making it an excellent choice for anyone needing both support and a gentle boost.
