Ashtanga 23/01/2021: Roll with it into backbends

Style: Ashtanga
Length: 90 minutes
Focus: Rolling postures and backbends
Props: Block and belt
Date Recorded: 23/01/2021
In this practise we move fairly fluidly through the standing postures, learning some of the sanskrit posture names, often named after the function/body part of the posture. The seated postures include all of the "rolling around" postures - which you have to do with a smile =) Finishing with the some backbends from the Ashtanga second-series, peaking at Parsva ("side") dhanurasana ("bow"), before winding down with a short shoulderstand sequence, a long savasana and a lovely warm glow.
