Morning Asymmetric Workout Flow

About This Class

This dynamic, asymmetric morning flow is structured as a progressive journey toward Hanumanasana (full splits) as its peak pose, with every preceding sequence intentionally preparing the body for that depth. The class opens in child's pose and Vajrasana with a grounding breath awareness, then moves through thread-the-needle twists on all fours before building into Surya Namaskar A and B — including chair pose, first and second Warrior. The asymmetric work then begins in earnest: single-leg transitions in Downward Dog, low lunge hip-flexor openers, half-splits, and lizard (low lunge with forearms) develop flexibility and hip mobility on each side independently before Hanumanasana is introduced. Arm-balance explorations include dolphin, forearm side plank with leg variations, and one-arm crow (Eka Hasta Bakasana) options. A standing sequence features Dancer's pose (Natarajasana) and balancing hip-flexor stretches. The cool-down weaves Dandasana, Salabhasana, Gomukhasana, table-top glute bridges, Navasana with twists, happy baby, plow, shoulder stand (Sarvangasana), and supine spinal twists before Savasana. Ujjayi breath is the continuous through-line; the instructor consistently links every posture to inward awareness, mindfulness, and releasing stress and tension. Props (blocks, straps) are explicitly offered for modifications throughout.
