  • Excellent inner thigh and hip stretches. Great shoulder opener (thread the needle while stretching inner thigh). Nice slow pace, (but not too slow) challenging balances with leg and hip strength. Good full body workout. 

    Edit

  • no shivasana, but option to do at end. Great whole body work out. Balances to warrior 3, hip and rib twists.

Public Basic 7 Items
  • Good work on hips, twists, with many options to expand practice (with arms or bindings).

  • nice slow flow, twists, and waterfall pose. Good Lazy day quick practice

  • Becky and Darcy approve. Nice vinyasa with challenging balance poses.

  • great work for hips and quads, but focus is always on the chest and shoulders so you don't realize you are working the lower half as well.

  • really great poses for stretches of legs and hips. Shoulder stands with unique bounded feet, and really tough lifts and poses to stretch our practice boundaries.

  • starts off very slow with excellent ROM in the spine (8 ways). Progresses to interesting changes in directions of common poses to move you all around your mat. It is an awesome stretch for hip openers, ab work, balance, and a few twists. AWESOME!

  • leg burner for sure! Great hip opener and balance. Good stretch of the IT band, hips, and thighs. Not sure I could run after this, but maybe? Good for bike riding too!
