Movement begins about 4 mins in. Following an Ujjayi pranayama practice, find precise and subtle core-strengthening movements on your way to execute Crow pose. Glide through a tradition-inspired flow and take some handstand practice (if you wish to) throughout.

Winding Up – 30 min flow
June 9, 2019
This is the energizing half of our practice. You’ll begin at the top of the mat, progressing into some core-supported work, an arm balance sequence (Crow > to Half-Titthibhasana > & then full Titthibhasana), and a challenging Forearm Stand variation (lowering to baby Crow).
