OR: for those of you with distracting pets and kids, busy home lives, or more limited time constraints and attention spans, etc., here’s a shortened version of this week’s flow:

(Just click on the videos above; they’re ready to play.)

Not exactly a BACKBENDING class,

but this flow will HELP build that kind of strength without you having to worry about not being bendy enough.

Peacock is an arm balance, sure. And it takes a lot of core strength, sure...

But when you think about your "core," what image comes to mind? I'm guessing most people think about their abdominals.

That's not WRONG, exactly, but it's not a full picture. Core strength is the ability to brace and move with the muscles that wrap ALL AROUND your midsection, connecting the pelvis to the ribcage and supporting the spine.

This sequence puts that bracing together with "heart openers" to work across the upper and mid back, and then connect with the GLUTES to lift your legs. If you feel like you spend too much time sitting all day, this flow will be a RELIEF!
