About
This 30-minute class offers a ground-based approach to Urdhva Mukha Svanasana (Upward Facing Dog Pose), focusing on lifting into the pose from the floor rather than transitioning into it from Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Facing Dog Pose). This method can be particularly helpful for those with wrist stiffness or core weakness, as it encourages stronger engagement of the legs and a more even distribution of effort between the upper and lower body. By activating the legs to support the lower back, you’ll reduce lumbar compression and improve postural integrity in the pose. The class also includes foundational backbends such as Salabhasana, helping to consolidate key backbend actions while building strength and energy throughout the body. Ideal for anyone looking to refine their technique in Urdhva Mukha Svanasana and deepen their understanding of foundational backbends.
