This class focusses on helping to keep your spine mobile so that you can comfortably do all the things you need to do in your life. There's a standing warm-up followed by the same movements repeated in Goddess Pose (Utkata Konasana). The seated sequence continues to move the spine into forward bends, gentle backbends, sidebends and twists and then there's a stretch out before Savasana.
Props required: A blanket to kneel on if needed.
Mat direction: Long edge of the mat facing the screen.
