Bow Pose: Core Strength
2515 Followers
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!

I love it! I am always quite afraid of doing camel pose, but this way of explaining it is great (what I appreciated most is the way Rachel explains how to get out of the pose). Thank you!
Great, clear instruction and just what I needed!
It's definitely challenging particularly in term of strength. But a great feeling after finishing! And the way of doing camel pose is simply great. With no fear to hurt my lower back i can enjoy the pose so much better! Thanks Rachel!
Thank you for this beautiful class! I am probably somewhere in between a beginning and intermediate yoga student, needing to work on strength throughout my body, but mostly in my core since I have some lower back and sciatic issues. I try to focus on my core throughout every yoga class, but the constant guides throughout this class really keep my mind and body focused.
