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!
Comments
That was such an active yoga class. Pretty quick pace, but I agree with other people in that, Rachel was very reassuring and checked my alignment with her voice alone. Great stuff. Broke quite a sweat and still yet a great precursor and segway into some meditation.
That was Excellent. I am so grateful for the way you remind us throughout to engage the core and realign. Rachel, you have a beautiful voice which is so reassuring when I'm about to think I can do no more. I can't wait to try the future sessions. This one deserves to be revisited and enjoyed again and again.
Thank you
Thank you Rachel for this nicely equilibrate class - an amazing start of the day. Highly recommend to everyone. Thanks for your voice and smile!
I am a devotee of the wonderful Mellissa Kreiger and like other commenters am trying to get out of my beginner comfort zone. This class is excellent. Clear direction, great pace and a good workout. Looking forward to the next two.
