Justicia DeClue

58m
The yoga philosophy gives us a rubric to help us know when we're on a heart-oriented path, or bhakti yoga. This practice builds slowly with progressive quad stretches and backbends to move towards deep backbending in inversions and beyond. A wall could be helpful for the pincha mayurasana (forearmstand) variations, and we use a block for chest openings and also optionally for inversions. Cool down includes supine twists and seated poses.
