Baddha Konasana II

In this aerial sequence, we will explore the experience and sensations of the Forward Fold or Paschimottanasana. Rather than aim to get your nose touching the legs, let's change your perspective on this intense stretch on the backside of the body with the hammock.

In this aerial yin class, the hammock allows you to explore the Tiptoe Fish pose comfortably with an awareness of the front side body and feet. While this pose can be awkward or challenging, the hammock provides support for stability and transition to your expression.

Backbend lovers, get ready! We are exploring the king of inversion, headstand with the use of the aerial hammock. We will learn to understand the correct setup and alignment of the pose, and then work our way to an advanced transition between headstand and the wheel pose.

Our soles are the windows to our overall health. The feet are the foundation that supports our daily movements as well as postural alignments. Bring some TLC to strengthen and lengthen the ankles and feet for a solid foundation from the ground up.

The key to moving into Marichyasana B is to create a dynamic force between the arm and the bent knee, and this requires both strength and flexibility. We will prepare the body for this pose by opening the shoulders, the hips, and warm up the back body to ease our way into this beautiful pose.

This class offers the option to use an aerial hammock or traditional yoga props to work towards Ardha Kapotasana, Half Pigeon. We will take time to warm up the body, open the hips, and chest while working with a lower height of the hammock to allows us to catch a Half Pigeon at flight.
