About This Class
In "You Don't Need To Go That Far," Dan Ward offers a thoughtful gentle yoga practice designed for anyone with limited mobility or those simply craving movement that feels good rather than impressive. The class opens with a playful crab-walk knee-swinging warm-up to explore internal and external hip rotation, then moves into seated shin-crossing twists, supported pigeon pose with a block under the hip, and core-engaging boat-pose variations. Standing work includes a supported forward fold with blocks, single-leg lateral lifts for hip stability, a block-squeezing chair pose sequence with side stretches, and a half-fold with inner-leg arm presses. The class winds down with down-dog leg swings, a prone chest-melt stretch, supine glute bridges, figure-four hip stretches, supine butterfly, and half happy baby before a gentle spinal twist and Savasana. Throughout, Dan consistently invites practitioners to go only as far as feels right, offering block and forearm modifications, and explicitly noting to skip or modify pigeon if there is any knee pain.
