Flow Like Water: Opening to Chakrasana 🌊
This fluid, water-inspired practice invites you to soften resistance, build intelligent strength, and open the body gradually towards Chakrasana.
We begin by awakening the spine and side body with gentle, wave-like movements, including variations of Ustrasana and Jala Namaskara to embody the quality of flow. The obliques are activated through twisting work and thread-the-needle variations, creating the space and support needed for deeper backbends.
As the practice builds, we revisit key peak shapes from this month, including Dhanurasana, Ustrasana, and Chamatkarasana, integrating strength, mobility, and openness. Shoulder stability and posterior chain activation are developed through Shalabhasana and Dolphin Pose, preparing the body safely for the peak.
You’ll also learn a practical and accessible entry into Wheel using a block against the wall—helping you understand alignment, leverage, and confidence in the pose.
We close by grounding the energy with Pawanmuktasana, Halasana, and Ananda Balasana, allowing the nervous system to settle and integrate.
A class to remind you: strength doesn’t come from force—it comes from learning when to flow.
