Duration 60 mins

During this sequence we will work towards Svarga Dvidasana, Bird of Paradise. Bird of Paradise requires a strong core, open hips, shoulders, and flexible hamstrings. We will open up the shoulders so you can approach the binds necessary to hold the leg in this standing balance, and then move into the hamstrings so you can extend into the fullest version of the pose. Be prepared to sweat and work hard as we flow through a sequence approachable for all levels. One block and a strap are suggested.
