Focus

This class is designed to solidify the fundamental aspects of forward bending asanas while incorporating intermediate-level inversions to enhance strength and flexibility. You’ll learn essential techniques for transitioning from upright seated positions into forward bends, featuring poses such as Janu Sirsasana, Paschimottanasana, Upavistha Konasana, and Triang Mukhaikapada Paschimottanasana. Whether you’re refining your alignment in foundational postures or expanding toward more advanced variations, this class provides valuable insights to deepen your understanding of forward bends. Emphasis is placed on maintaining healthy spinal alignment throughout, with tips to protect and lengthen the spine in each pose. The sequence begins with strength-building preparatory asanas, creating a strong base for Sirsasana (Headstand), and concludes with a calming Viparita Karani, offering a complete practice that nurtures both the body and mind.
