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!

Love Rachel & this class but I'm having so many problems with the video cutting out that it wasn't very enjoyable or relaxing, unfortunately :(
I do pay a subscription fee as well so I hope the video quality can be improved!

This happens every time no matter what browser I use and so I have to use the browser on my TV but it doesn’t let me log in from there so I am limited to non subscriber content.
DYWM - can you help? I never get though one video fully without cutting out
