Access this free class

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!

This class is a wonderful way to start the week. I'll be facing Monday with my a head tall and a smile on my face.
Thank you

I love Rachel's precise cues - I rarely have to look at the screen during her classes. This was a wonderful opening and release for my chronically tight shoulders, and a nicely grounding practice overall. Just the right length for me today when I didn't feel energized enough for a longer class, yet definitely needed to do some stretching and letting go. Thank you!
