What this class works with
A Navaratri-inspired sequence cultivating remembrance of the Divine Goddess, Shakti, within every movement, breath and sensation. The class builds a repeating cycle of pendulums, circular arm patterns and side bends that rise into a standing single-leg Durga/goddess shape with a blessing-bestowing hand mudra, stepping back into Warrior 1 and flowing through three-legged downward dog and the child/cat/cow pattern. The sequence is run through on both sides, first guided in detail then repeated with minimal verbal cueing so practitioners can move intuitively.
In this class
- •Side bend lifting one leg into standing Durga/goddess pose with Pataka hand mudra (right hand blessing, left bestowing)
