Side-bending Sequence
Mobility
•
18m
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.
