This is a fairly advanced sequence focussed on twisting in standing poses. Twisting poses are great for shedding light on imbalances in different sides of the body and so, this in-depth sequence will be very useful for those wishing to work on balancing out both sides.
Twisting poses are also great for bringing energy into parts of the body that often get neglected, so this kind of sequence can provide a much-needed all-round energy boost, especially on days you’re feeling a little dull or stiff. Due to the just mentioned benefits, this class could be suitable both for the morning before you start the day and for the evening, after a long day sitting at the desk or being on your feet. The poses looked at here will help elongate the spine and release tension in the muscles.
At the end of the class, take some time to meditate on the difference in how your body feels. After an in-depth standing pose session, for example, you might get a similar sensation to the one you get when you wipe your glasses clean or swipe the dirt off your windshield: everything becomes a little bit clearer.
