What this class works with
An introductory template class establishing the foundations of embodied practice: awareness of body, breath, and mind through a repeatable sequence. The spine is built segmentally through posterior tilts and ragdoll rounds, side bends with arm circumduction, and dynamic pendulums that launch into a floating chair and Malasana, before stepping back into Pashvottanasana and flowing through downward dog, high plank, and child/cat/cow. The class closes with windshield wipers and a slow offering of the limbs into Shavasana.
In this class
- •Dynamic pendulum with heel-lift launching into floating Tadasana, floating chair (Utkatasana), and floating Malasana
- •Side bend with shoulder lift, hip swing, arm float and circumduction, alternating sides
- •Step back into Pashvottanasana (half-splits stance) with soft elbows and forward/back weight shifts
- •Three-legged downward dog transitioning through high plank into recurring child / angry cat / cow wave pattern
- •Double-bent-knee bounce in downward dog with head and shoulders bouncing like a water balloon
- •Windshield wipers with counter-rotating head, offering legs and arms individually to the floor into Shavasana
