Twist & Turtle

About This Class

This dynamic 65-minute flow class builds deliberately from a grounding floor warm-up — supine figure-four, leg lifts, and wide-legged seated work — through a progressive standing sequence anchored in Crescent Pose twists, Eagle Arms, Pyramid Pose, Twisting Triangle, and Twisting Half Moon. Bound side angle and bound triangle add shoulder and hip-opening depth, while Warrior One and Warrior Two create a strong foundation. Core and shoulder stability are challenged through Plank, Dolphin Plank, Dolphin Pose with leg lifts, and Side Plank with a reach-over stretch. A Malasana squat leads into Bakasana (Crane Pose) arm-balance exploration. The floor closing includes Pigeon Pose for deep hip release, Salabhasana, Dhanurasana, Virasana, Baddha Konasana, Marichasana C twists, Janu Sirsasana, and Kurmasana before Savasana. The instructor consistently frames the practice around mindful breath, energetic precision, and finding your individual alignment — making the class equally suitable for those seeking full-body mobility, spinal health, and focused presence.
