Starting with anatomy and alignment principles, we will teach you how to create more space in the sides and back of your body allowing you more freedom in your twists and forward bends. Next you will learn a sequence of moving postures in a way that's safe, strong and builds confidence in your forward bends and twists. As we expand on the practice, the symbiotic relationship of these two groups of poses will assist you to go deeper into each posture laying the foundation for seated work. We will finish by breaking down each pose with a slow and detailed approach taking you into some uncommon and interesting postures!
