Standing Continuous Flow
Hatha Yoga
•
32m
In this class we'll be moving continuously through the poses to get energised and revitalised. We'll flow through two similar standing flows which include Warrior 2 Pose (Virabhadrasana II), Lizard Pose (Uttan Pristhasana), Pyramid Pose (Parsvottanasana), Standing Forward Bend (Prasarita Padottanasana), Goddess Pose (Utkan Konasana) twisting variation and Kneeling Side Plank Pose (Ardha Vasisthasana). There will also be 3 rounds of the 'Ha Kriya' - breath and movement combined to rev you up, get rid of stagnant energy and bring lots of fresh oxygen into the bloodstream. (Please note, this kriya is not suitable for those with high blood pressure).
Props needed: Possibly blocks or books for under your hands in Pyramid Pose (they'll give you a bit more room to straighten your leg) and a blanket for Savasana and to kneel on if required.
Mat direction: Long edge facing the screen.
