Bow Pose: Hip Flexor Release
This class is part two in a 4-part series taking you to bow pose (dhanurasana). Moving on from what you learned in Bow Pose: Core Strength, Rachel alternates between a brisk hatha flow and a series of deep, long holds, warming the body up so you can release the hip flexors and the front of the pelvis, ultimately making it easier for your pelvis to tilt back and your body to move into a backbend. This class also has a peak pose, dancers (natarajasana) and will prepare you for the next classes in this series: Bow Pose: Open the Shoulders, and Bow Pose: Ready for the Peak!

Another wonderful class by Rachel Scott! Clear instructions and great cueing keep me coming back. What a treat to have a nice long shavasana at the end. Now feeling fully refreshed. Love what my body can do with Rachel's guidance - feels like I gain a little bit more flexibility with every class.
Ahhh....clear instructions allows me to follow at a brisk pace. Love it. I'm going to do more Rachel Scott classes. Thank you.
First time back taking a class in 6 months. Enough challenge, great flow and centering. Thank you x
Thanks Rachel, you are a wonderful teacher. Clear and helpful instruction, calm energy. Working on stretching my super tight quads, this was a great class for that.
