Bow Pose: Core Strength
2507 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!

Thanks Rachel love your class. Was a great mix with modification levels added in for beginners or intermediate. All your alignment cues were very helpful to build to camel pose with out any compression on the lower back. Great start to my morning. Thanks.
As usual, Rachel offers a wonderful class!
its a nice western class with full of logic and hope and i didnt see anywhere its a beginner to intermediate flow. i will practice this if i want to beat someone that day :)
I found this class to be both energizing and grounding. I appreciate the focus on core strength, as often this can be overlooked in other yoga classes. I've found my yoga practice improve significantly since I've started targeting my core muscles specifically over the past year or so (as well as my running, posture, etc...). Personally, I much rather do a yoga class that incorporates a lot of core work, than just doing reps of 'traditional' ab exercises. I found Rachel's instruction to be very clear and well paced throughout the class. I'll definitely be coming back to this one again!
