Forward Bends: Fundamentals – Weekly Intermediate Class 346

In this class, we explore the fundamental principles of forward bends, a group of poses often challenging for individuals with limited mobility. Tight muscle groups and stiff joints can exacerbate the restrictions commonly associated with forward bending asanas. This class not only guides you through the essential aspects of forward bends, with a special emphasis on spinal health, but also equips you with the necessary tools to enhance your practice and safely fast-track your progress. You’ll build a solid foundation for confidently and safely practicing poses such as Paschimottanasana, Janu Sirsasana, Triang Mukhaikapada Paschimottanasana, and Upavistha Konasana. These poses are taught in a systematic progression, enabling you to establish a strong base and gradually advance to more challenging asanas over time. Whether you’re a newer student or a more experienced practitioner looking to refine your forward bends, this class offers new insights into these essential poses.
