This class focusses on side bends which will help to mobilise the spine, engage the oblique abdominal muscles and improve the range of movement of the shoulders. You'll start with a seated sequence and then repeat the movements in kneeling in Gate Pose (Parighasana) and then standing in Alanasana (High Lunge). Finally, there's a supine sequence before relaxing in Savasana.
Props needed: A blanket to kneel on.
Mat direction: Short edge of the mat facing the screen.
