This is an 85-minute Power Flow. The focus of this class is the core, specifically the side body, and we work on strengthening it, lengthening it, and twisting it. Sun Salutations A feature the forearm plank, and core engagement is certainly the name of the game as we flow. In standing postures, we dial the hips open gradually, progressing from Crescent Lunge to Warrior One, then to Malasana and Horse Squat. Twisting as we go along, we explore Revolved Low Lunge, Revolved Runner's Lunge, Revolved Crescent and Revolved Pyramid. Backbends appear throughout class and allow us to use the space and suppleness that have been created in the sides of the body. Hamstring and posterior chain work weave throughout the class as well and show up as Dolphin Pose, One-Legged Dolphin, and Bridge. Our peak pose appears after we have rested back on the mat - Reclined Revolved Extended Big Toe Pose; just an offering, of course, if you wish to deepen the reclined twist. If you are looking for a balanced class to focus on your core in a big, yet integrated way, this is IT. Come twist it out with me and see what you let go of in the process. Enjoy!
