Incorporating 'new' poses!

Hello, all! We are going to begin to focus more on the later poses in the Primary Series, which will specifically help develop greater hip and hamstring flexibility, as well as core strength. These are asanas such as Bhuja Pindasana, Kurmasana (tortoise pose), Kukkutasana (rooster pose), Upavistha Konasana (seated wide-angle stretch), Supta Padangustasana (reclining hand-to-big-toe pose), etc.

We have also started to incorporate some poses from the Second Series into some practices, and we will be doing more of this, for fun and variety.

If there are poses you would like to do in class, you are always welcome to make requests!
