Day 15 — The Best of Backbends

Welcome to the third week! Get ready to start building on your previous postures and venture into a new realm of your practice. This week classes become a little more challenging, but remember that you have all the building blocks to finish out this challenge—rest and modify if and when you need to. If you stick with the breath, you are still fully in the practice. Remember that more advanced practice comes with dedication, attention, time, and a willingness to play.

Day 15 begins with an exploration of Warrior 1 (Virabhadrasana I), learning proper extension and alignment so that you can power your flow practice with precision and grace. Apply this knowledge into the flow practice, Pyramid (Ardha Parsvottanasana), and Revolved Half Moon (Parivrtta Ardha Chandrasana), finishing with delicious side stretches to balance out the body.
