We look at asanas such as upavishtakonasana, half gomukhasana twist, help the body to lengthen the hamstring muscles and open the spine, while asanas such as uttanasana, utkatasana to build the strength of quads and the back muscles. We use flexibility to find a pose and strength to maintain it

With a focus on safe body alignment, we learn to open the hips and lengthen the spine. Simple lying down and sitting twists helps us free the back muscles while preparing the body to hold standing poses such as virabhadrasana 2 and parasva konasana for longer periods of time

Here we take simple postures to work the muscles in the back. We also do a few hip opening poses to increase the flexibility of the joints and together we learn how to take more advanced balancing postures. Today we take navasana as our main focus and try different ways to approach it

Here we learn how the rotation of the joints in the lower body can affect compression in the lower back. We look technically at setu bandha sarvangasana, haturanga dandasana and bhujangasana to protect and strengthen the muscles in the Lumbar spine

Here we establish the best position for the hips to develop the Twisting Asanas according to it.

Twisting or ‘REVOLVED’ poses require a slow approach and can be quite chanllenging to the muscles. We take PARIVRTTA VIRABHADRASANA 3 and PARIVRTTA EKA PADA PADANGUSHTASANA into focus here.

Here we establish the best position for the hips and learn to develop the twisting asanas according to it. Twisting or ‘revolved’ poses require a slow approach and can be quite challenging to the muscles. We take ‘parivrtta trikonasana’ and parivrtta parsvakonasana as into focus here

During this class we will approach Back Bends that are simple and find ways to understand alignment better, in the spine. We will slowly build up to practicing advanced poses which challenge the flexibility in the spine more – Asanans such as SALABHASANA and DHANURASANA

We will find a safe way to rotate the hips within the joints. This can help to create more freedom within the sockets of the lower body, allowing for us to comfortably practice asanas like SUPTA PADANGUSHTASANA and SUPTA VAJRASANA. Here we try to connect our Breath to access deeper muscular move...

Understanding when to engage the thigh muscles to provide strength to the posture and how props can be useful to us. Learn to hold TRIKONASANA and PARSVAKONASANA for longer periods of time, allowing the stretch in the Hips to deepen and therefore the Quadriceps to take control from the top of the...
