About This Class

This expansive flow class opens with grounding breathwork in Child's Pose, guiding students to set an intention and tune inward before building through repeated Sun Salutation-style cycles of Cat-Cow, Cobra, and Downward Facing Dog. The standing sequence layers Crescent Pose, Warriors One and Two, Reverse Warrior, Extended Side Angle, Triangle, Half Moon, and Third Warrior, with Eagle Pose and balancing variations woven throughout. Core work appears in Plank, Side Plank, forearm Plank, and supine crunches with bicycle-style twists. Backbends progress from Baby Cobra through Sphinx, Bow Pose (Dhanurasana), and Bridge, followed by inversions including Plow and Shoulder Stand. The cooling floor sequence features Thread the Needle, Happy Baby, wide-legged straddle, and deep spinal twists before a generous Savasana. Throughout, the instructor frames the practice as an opportunity for emotional release, self-compassion, and stress relief, consistently reminding students that Child's Pose is always available and encouraging them to work from sensation rather than ego. Gratitude and mindfulness are woven into the closing, making this as much a heart-centered meditation as a physical practice.
