Activate Your Flexibility • 44m

This class focuses on deep backbends with a focus on backbends that require flexion of the shoulders, or arms above the head. Deep stretches to prep you for deep backbends such as mermaid, king pigeon, wheel pose, drop back, and forearm wheel. You'll need 2-3 blocks, a light weight 2-5 lbs if you have one, and wall space. You might want a strap and blanket to modify.

    Yin Yoga is a passive practice that stretches the fascia around your muscles. This class will use yin postures to target all the areas we covered in the series: folds, hips, hamstrings and backbends. Props aren't necessary but you might want blocks, blanket, and bolster.
