•
18m
This short class moves you through classic standing poses such as Warrior 2 Pose (Virabhadrasana II), Chair Pose (Utkatasana), Warrior 1 Pose (Virabhadrasana II), Side Angle Pose (Utthita Parsvakonasana) and Triangle Pose (Trikonasana), interspersed with the four variations of Wide Legged Forward Bend (Prasarita Padottanasana).

Props required: None needed.
