Standing Strong
February Schedule: Week Two
•
38m
In today's class we utilize the first half of class creating more connection and awareness around the muscles that need to be "on" when we are in a standing yoga pose. While the work we do on the mat today is in the stability category, it's a class that is appropriate for all levels and even if you are currently dealing with some pain or a flare. The work is mindful, it's slow and you can take it as far or bring it back as much as is needed.
We utilize the wall to help our posture and connection with our standing poses! It's a great way to get more familiar with common poses like high lunge, warrior 2 and warrior 3.
You'll need: two blocks and have a blanket to sit on or a skinny pillow for our opening warm up.
