Focus

Energise your forward bends. A yoga sequence featuring forward bends can be potentially soothing for your nervous system, and calming for the body and mind. However, this might not be the case if you are newer to yoga or practicing with restricted mobility. For someone with stiff hips and tight hamstrings this group of poses might leave you feeling flat and frustrated rather than balanced and calm. If this is the case, you may benefit from approaching forward bends from more energetically uplifting perspective. This class presents foundation forward bends with an emphasis on dynamic spinal lift and chest opening. Try the class for an uplifting new perspective on the forward bending asana group.
