Legs, Hips and Core Strengthening Sequence
Vinyasa Flow
•
24m
After warming up with Sun Salutations we move into a sequence that will strengthen your legs with Chair Pose (Utkatasana), a repetitive challenging transition from Standing Single Leg Balance (Tadasana Pavanmuktasana) to High Lunge Pose (Alanasana), strengthen your core with the balancing and Plank Pose with one leg lifted (Eka Pada Phalakasana) and work the hip area with Warrior 2 Pose (Virabhadrasana II) and One Legged Chair Pose (Eka Pada Utkatasana). Expect to work hard in this sequence but have fun with the unfamiliar transitions. Some restful seated stretches follow the flow and you will definitely enjoy your Savasana! Please note: there was a minor camera malfunction halfway through the class so there's a very slight continuity blip! It won't affect your class at all but I thought I'd better 'fess up' in case you notice it and wonder what happened:-)
Props needed: None required.
Mat direction: Short edge of the mat facing the screen.

The Sun Salutations in this flow include Locust Pose (Salabhasana), an accessible low backbend which strengthens th...
