80 Minutes

A reimagining of the Ashtanga Second Series sequence. This is a strong, fun practice that works toward big backbends, big hip openers, and several inversions. Not appropriate for beginners or folks who prefer mellower practices.

80 Minutes

An unorthodox approach to some of the postures of the ashtanga intermediate series. sun salutes, standing, some arm balancing, lots of backbending and twists. Two blocks and a wall are used.

Vigorous, fast pace Ashtanga-inspired practice, drawing from the primary and second series. Begins with sun salutations, moving through a strong standing series, grounding seated forward folds, variety of twists, and winding down with energizing backbends/ chest opening and inversions.

Level: Intermediate; opportunities to dial back intensity abound, still probably not a practice to do with your three year old, or without a sense of humor.

Props: 2 blocks, optional strap, firm blankets if practicing shoulder stand.
