Spacious Side Body
Flow
PLAY WITH: Gate pose, tripod, forward folds, gentle twists
EXPLORE: Arm flows to create length and space in the side of your body
AWAKEN: freedom to be in your body with ease
Our side body can hold on to so much tension, and freeing up this space can allow for ease of movement in all directions. Enjoy this delicious practice on its own to feel spacious and calm, or use this as a preparation to move towards deeper poses like backward bends and twists. This class is a "lunar flow", which will offer a more restorative, restful flow with smooth, gliding movements from one pose to the next. Having a yoga block would be a great addition to this practice.
