This is Rachel's third class in a 4-part series that leads you to bow pose (dhanurasana). Building on what you learned in Bow Pose: Core Strength and Bow Pose: Hip Flexor Release, this class focuses on releasing the shoulder joints, upper back and spine so you can find it easier to reach back to hold your feet, and move into the pose with stability and ease. This class progresses toward the peak pose of locust pose (salabhasana) and will prepare you for the final class in this series: Bow Pose: Ready for the Peak!

Great class, Rachel! Such clear, concise instruction! Felt great on my upper back and shoulders! Love that you mix things up so it's not just the same poses over and over!

This class is fantastic. I come back to it every once in a while and remember how much I enjoy it. I feel open and proud and ready for my day. Thank you Rachel for your straight forward, precise and caring teaching style.

I always enjoy Rachel's classes. They are more than a yoga class . . . she interweaves instructions and tips that are clear and helpful to any practitioner. I feel better aligned and stronger because of her teaching style.
