Mandala Flow With Standing Balances
Vinyasa Flow
•
30m
This flow class takes you from one end of the mat to the other, repeating the poses as you go. In effect, you're going round in a circle - the mandala. You have to concentrate so this is a good class to do if your mind is feeling busy and scattered. Even though you'll only doing one round on each side, expect to repeat poses such as Warrior 2 (Virabhadrasana II) and Side Angle Pose (Utthita Parsvakonasana) a total of 8 times as you travel around the mat. There are some standing balances (Tree Pose (Vrksasana) and Eagle Pose (Garudasana) in the middle of the flow so, if you need something to steady yourself, position your mat a little away from a wall. A supine sequence to stretch the legs brings the class to a well-deserved Savasana.
Props required: A wall if required.
Mat direction: There will be times when you can't see the screen so it doesn't really matter.
