This is the first of a series of two classes that prepare you for a yin pose called snail, or karnapidasana. It's a yoga posture that requires a significant amount of flexibility in your back, particularly your lower back and neck, so it's important to progress toward it slowly and carefully. This is Satiya's special skill, and you'll find this yin yoga-like class to feel wonderfully delicious, rejuvenating and releasing for many parts of the body. It will prepare you for the next class in the series: Snail Pose: Deepening.

My back hurt before doing this practice, and I kind of felt stressed. Now I am feeling at ease. Thank you! <3 You are such a wonderful teacher and your voice is really soothing!!!

Thank you for another lovely class, I am really enjoying the 30 day beginners class. The only problem I have is that I cannot sit cross legged comfortably, I have tried and tried would you suggest I sit on my knees, but if I do this some of the poses tend to end up more like child pose.

I still have goose bumps of energy and relaxation pulsing through my body. This was just what I needed after stressfilled day of siting. Lovely calm energy! Thank you.
