Focus

This class brings together some of the main poses from the forward bending group, and places them in a sequence that can be completed in 40 minutes. The class complements the 90 minute Advanced Class 109, offering a selection of the same poses, including similar approaches and techniques, but in a much shorter format, with modifications given for students working with stiffer bodies. Key forward bends such as jana sirsasana, paschimottanasana, triang mukhaikapada paschimottanasna and upavistha konasana are all included. The kneeling twist bharadvajasana is placed at the end of the sequence. The class will be ideal for students looking to improve hip and hamstrings mobility.
