About This Class
This expansive flow class opens supine with detailed pranayama — segmented half-lung and full-lung breath retention — before moving through a progressive warm-up of knee-hugs, core leg extensions, cow/cat, and downward dog. The standing sequence layers Crescent Pose, Warrior One, Warrior Two, Reverse Warrior, Extended Side Angle, Twisted Crescent, Twisted Lunge, and Vasisthasana (Side Plank), repeated on both sides and then strung together in independent flow rounds. A demanding forearm-plank series with lateral hip dips (guitar-string oblique work) is followed by Sphinx, Locust, and Bow Pose for deep spinal extension. The floor closes out with Vishnu's Couch side-lying balance work, shoulder-opening fish-wing stretches, Virasana (Hero's Pose), Garudasana (Eagle Arms), seated forward folds, Baddha Konasana, boat-pose balance variations, Plow Pose, supine twists, and a long Savasana capped by a contemplative meditation. Throughout, the instructor frames breath as the central "prop," encourages self-regulation over pose compliance, and weaves in philosophical reflections on unity and presence.

12/19/25. Revisited this classic T poetic meditation and dance on this cold (9F) blustery morning. The class that warmed me from the core, soothed my monkey mind and helped my muscles get stronger, my tendons and ligaments touched and stretched, and gave me an overall sense of calm. But the best of the class comes at the very end. Rise slowly from savasana, find yourself in a comfortable seat, and just listen to some wise words by a very wise and well practiced sage.

A slow deep sonorous ass whoopin’ by one of my favorite teachers. And the cool down? Icing on the cake…😎🙏

Wonderful full body stretch. I agree with another commenter below that I would have liked more time with the movement and less time with the stretching. Good for all levels.

This practice starts with some ab work, which I prefer doing at the end when my lower back is all warmed up. The recommended block is for sun salutations, which you have the option to do with the block between the thighs. It comes back to some strong but doable core work with dolphin and assorted planks. It also includes some pretty challenging and extended work in lunge position. I could not complete that sequence without putting my knee down a couple of times! Surprisingly, even after all the “oh mys!”, when the flow was done, I found myself thinking I would have liked to keep moving a little longer. This practice will still go in my favorites though because I want to give it another go and maybe modify it to better fit my abilities. I’m sure there will be days when it will just feel perfect! Thank you!
