55 min all levels w/ Justicia: lunge and squat depth via ankle mobility
All Levels

55m
Dorsiflexion (the ankle movement that closes the front angle of the ankle) is not often addressed in yoga, so many yogis lack depth in this movement. This practice emphasizes dorsiflexion in malasana (yogic squat), skandasana (side lunge, or cossack squat), and depth in a low lunge variation. It also moves towards goddess pose and offers some binds. Practice ends with seated forward bends and a supine twist.
Props needed: strap and blocks.
