Saturday Sessions: Hips & Legs

7, 21, 28 October & 4 November, 2pm-5pm

On Saturdays, we will be working on hip-opening poses, splits, and variations. This will help to release tension, increase range of motion, and build strength in the lower body to support the spine. Our hip and legs have lots of big muscle groups, hence opening them requires time and patience. Through the use of different props, students will experience a deeper release.

With more time in this practice, students get to practise poses not easily attained during regular classes, eg. Standing Split (Urdhva Prasarita Eka Padasana), Standing Split (Urdhva Prasarita Eka Padasana), Tortoise Pose (Kurmasana), Compass Pose (Surya Yantrasana), Yogi Staff Pose (Yoga Dandasana), Leg-Behind-Head (Eka Pada Sirsasana) and Middle Split (Samakonasana).

Sunday Sessions: Backbends & Pincha Mayurasana

8, 22, 29 October & 5 November, 9am-12pm

On Sunday mornings, we will be focusing on the spine to work on backbends and building upper body strength to prepare for inversions. We start by warming up the shoulders and the spine through lateral movements as well as twisting. Learn to deepen the poses safely. Examples of poses to be covered: Low Lunge (Anjaneyasana), Dancer Pose (Natarajasana), King Cobra Pose (Raja Bhujangasana), Extended Camel Pose (Kapotasana), Locust Pose (Salabhasana), Bow Pose (Dhanurasana), Wheel Pose (Urdhva Dhanurasana), Chin Stand (Ganda Bherundasana) and relevant variations.

With the level of spine flexibility we will have achieved, we will finally get to work on the pincha mayurasana (forearm balance) and its variations.
