Back Bend and Balance Challenge.

Begin seated and arrive into breath, preparing to move steadily, slowly and with a clear focus. We are waking the core to start. There is emphasis on working the back of the legs to get securely grounded so that warrior poses feel strong and enjoyable. There is an interesting sequence into back bending work from all fours that is challenging yet invigorating and that teaches you how you can control your energy flow. Deep lunges that work strength into the inner legs in preparation for an exciting balancing backbend from downward dog. After, it’s Pigeon Pose, with twisting variations, to cool down and release energy. Then forward bending to stretch the spine and reclined leg stretch before falling back into savasana.
