In this hatha yoga class with Rachel, we will explore the key actions necessary to practice standing postures safely and effectively. We will explore the actions of the hips in foundational poses such as warrior II so that you can learn to do these poses optimally for your own body. Note: We recommend using a block for this practice.

This can either be done as a stand-alone class or as Day 3 of Grounding and Strength 14-Day Beginner Yoga Challenge.

My favorite teacher! I am doing classes at a small studio near me, but the teacher is unable to leave the mat to help with poses. Pandemic rule! So, this is where I go for intensive instruction on correct poses. Thanks so much, Rachel.

Awwwww! That's so nice to hear! I'm so glad that you've been able to continue your practice through these crazy times...I understand: I can't wait to get back to teaching where I can get close to people and touch them again! :)
