Key Poses

Sukkhasana, janu sirsasana, ardha baddha padma paschimottanasana, triang mukhaikapada paschimottanasana.

Focus

A quick and easy practice to help you improve your forward bends. This class revisits and consolidates some of the ardha baddha padma paschimottanasana knee variations from last week and puts them in context with a broader range of forward bends. These two classes compliment one another and can be practiced in tandem. A supported version of the reclining kneeling pose supta virasana is taught at the beginning of this class. The pose is approached in a way that will suit students who are less familiar with this pose or working with restricted mobility. The remainder of the class uses minimal props. This convenient shorter duration class will help you to be able to build momentum with your forward bends at times when you have a busy schedule.

    1. Hi Sylvia, I would recommend going to the Sequences section of the website, which you will find on the top of the page next to Courses. The Sequences are not live classes, they are downloadable, printable, static images that can be used for reference or practice if you are unable to view one of our video classes.
