Forward Bends & Preparatory Inversions – Weekly Intermediate Class 368

This class offers a well-rounded exploration of foundational forward bends and strengthening preparatory inversions, designed to deepen your practice with purpose and technique. Featuring preliminary versions of headstand (Sirsasana) and handstand (Adho Mukha Vrksasana), the class builds the necessary strength and alignment to approach these challenging poses with confidence. Forward bends such as Janu Sirsasana, Triang Mukhaikapada Paschimottanasana, Upavistha Konasana, and Paschimottanasana form the core of the practice, with an emphasis on improving flexibility while maintaining spinal support. These poses help calm the mind, stretch the hamstrings and spine, and enhance postural awareness. The practice concludes with the restorative Viparita Karani, a soothing inversion that revitalises energy and promotes deep relaxation. Expect a balanced practice that cultivates strength, flexibility, and focus, leaving you feeling both invigorated and at ease.
