Bow Pose: Core Strength
This is the 1st in a series of four classes that lead you to the bow pose (dhanurasana). In this class, Rachel brings you through an invigorating hatha yoga flow that challenges your core strength and teaches you the alignment principles that you will need to understand as you move toward any deep backbend. Her progression through core strength and deeper backbends take you to camel pose (ustrasana), just before you cool down and enter a well-deserved savasana. This class will prepare you for the next steps in Bow Pose: Hip Flexor Release, Bow Pose: Open the Shoulders, and Bow Pose: Ready for the Peak!

whew. challenging for beginner intermediate, requires focus. has options and breaks and is strengthening and fun!
Loved the Camel access - works so much better than what I've done before, and stretches the front of the thighs so nicely, as well as core work and safety for the back.
Loots of Vinyasas in this one, phew.. but good to warm up and work the core. Nice new-to-me core strengthening practices.
I always love creative variations.
Thx Rachel & Team!
Just jumped to intermediate level, so this class seemed to me a bit challenging, pretty quick and really strong, but Rachel is so good in her instructions, clear voice and moves, knows exactly where to insist, the moment when you feel you cannot go further! Taking it step by step, you feel the satisfaction of making it, so looking forward for the next classes. Namaste
Great class. Great cues for core engagement through every move. Thank you
