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!

Thank you very much Rachel for such a perfect, thorough and enjoyable core-centric class. My body and mind loved it!
Thank you so much! Your body control is unbelievable while you give perfect directions. Amazing workout.
If you're looking for a workout - this is it. Rachel's awesome instruction helps you through it.
As usual Rachel delivers what she described: Invigorating, core, deep back bend (achieved safely)
Apparently I've been slacking off. This was a lot tougher this time than the first time I did it.
I love this class because you do get a good solid core workout and it really made me stretch my often rounded shoulders back. My low back never ends up feeling pinched when I'm finished. A testament to Rachel's great instruction and method for teaching back bend.
For the other yogis who read the comments. My sage advice is don't put fish cat food down before doing yoga. But do this class if you need a good core workout and shoulder stretch. it's a pretty awesome class.
