21-40 Minutes
•
37m
In this class you'll repeat 5 rounds of the same movement pattern of gentle backbend, side bend, twist and forward bend. The repetition and rhythm are helpful if your mind is feeling busy and scattered as you know what's coming next and can focus more on your breath and the sensations in the body. You'll begin seated, then move to kneeling, lunge and standing sequences before coming down to the ground to repeat the pattern for the final time lying down.
Props needed: two bricks and a blanket if required for kneeling/Savasana.
Mat direction: Short edge facing the screen.
