Lunges and Bridges Flow - December 2023

Duration: 36 minutes

Emphasis: After warming up with some gentle rolling Bridges (Setu Bhandasana) and some shoulder and ankle mobility movements, you'll do a round of slow, gentle Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar A), followed by another with some options to make it slightly more challenging. Two more rounds follow with the kneeling lunge Crescent Moon Pose (Anjaneyasana) plus a variation of this, and also a Half Dog aka Puppy Pose (Uttana Shishosana) to stretch the sides of the body. In the next round you'll be doing standing lunges and an extended Standing Forward Bend (Uttanasana). You'll finish this class lying on the floor again for some more variations of Bridge Pose (Setu Bhandasana) before resting in Savasana.

Props needed: A blanket for under your knees plus two bricks.

Mat direction: Long edge of the mat facing the screen.
