This whole body practice builds strength and skill in your obliques, hip flexors, hamstrings and hip rotators while moving dynamically around the spine. This challenging movement experience sprinkles in moments of passive stretching to unwind tension at the hips and the shoulders.
The first half of class opens with novel preparatory exercises that challenge how the limbs coordinate around the spine in all three planes of movement. The work builds in intensity, preparing the core musculature surrounding the ribcage and chest that extends all the way down to the low back.
The class builds towards some classic shapes: Triangle, Twisted Triangle, Half Moon and Warrior 3. You may find too that many of the skills within the preparatory exercises can be used to improve how you sit, stand and move throughout your day.
