Intermediate Level Iyengar Yoga
Utthita Parsvakonasana and Utthita Trikonasana are both revolved positions.
In this class, we’ll move through a sequence using the chair to support greater awareness of the back body and increase stability.
In this sequence, we explore a family of postures that connect the organs of action—arms and legs—in various directions.
Throughout, we lengthen the trunk, open through the front body, and spread the back body.
All these positions activate our organic body, stimulating movement and aiding in detoxification.
Adding the breath will bring more movement and vitality.
Namaste.
