Sept 18: SLOW FLOW + Backbends (Asana Only 60 min) Fave practice of the week!
HORMONES/NERVOUS/LYMPHATIC & SUBTLE BODY
•
1h 6m
This practice is excellent for grounding otherwise frenetic energy. We do only a handful of postures in this hour practice - but build heat in a unique way without speed. The focus is on perseverance and breath. Sweat and "tapas" helps to release positive hormones into our bloodstream as a result. A brief focus is brought to the kidneys and adrenals. Hopefully the outcome for you is a sense of wellbeing and groundedness.
Expect only ONE of the following held with endurance: W1, W2, triangle, a twist, half moon. Backbends are the sweet stuff of this practice (half-frog, floor bow, saddle, a "mermaid" pose, two wheels or ankle variation bridges)
Enjoy!

It's slow and sweaty - then meditative. We hold poses like Warrior Two, Triangle, prasaritas, horse stance, twists. Whe...
