This is the forth class in a 4-part series taking you into full bow pose (dhanurasana). It builds on what you learned in Bow Pose: Core Strength, Bow Pose: Hip Flexor Release, and Bow Pose: Open the Shoulders. After learning how to move safely into a deep backbend by strengthening the core and releasing the hip flexors and shoulders in the first three classes, Rachel takes you through a well-paced, full-length hatha yoga class that is thorough, attentive to detail and careful in its progression toward the peak pose. Good luck with bow pose!

Great class in a great series! I’d describe this as a true hatha class - it tests strength and flexibility, but it’s more about holding and feeling the poses than either. I’ve completed all four of these and they’re an excellent series. Recommended if you’ve got a good beginner’s yoga foundation and are ready to progress a bit beyond that.
