Snail Pose: Deepening
In the second class in Satiya's two-part series on snail pose, she takes you through a slow flow that gradually deepens, preparing your body carefully and gently to move into the deep backbend that is called snail pose (karnapidasana) in yin yoga. You may just access some deep tension you haven't felt in a while. If you haven't done so already, we recommend that you start with the first class in the series, Snail Pose: Opening, before moving into this one. The first class is especially helpful if snail pose is new for you.

Great release for sacrum and lower back. Strengthening, stretching, and relaxing. Perfect.
Perfect for the athlete that hasn't stretched in a while. Fully backside lovins. Holy smokes its good.
This was a wonderful practice, thank you Satiya. I did find that I needed a counter posture after doing the full snail so I did a couple of dynamic bridges before Shavansana. It would be great to have more intermediate slow classes.
Slowing down and calming down - purrrfect medicine!
Thank you Satiya!
