Catch Up Class Week 5

Duration: 1 hr 14 minutes

Emphasis: This class has a focus on stretching and energising the arms - you'll hook your thumbs together, spread the hands and feel like you're trying to pull them apart which increases the muscle energy and gives you some resistance. You'll start with a supine sequence then move to a kneeling lunge sequence featuring Crescent Moon Pose (Anjaneyasana) and a Lizard Lunge (Pristhasana variation) and then to standing where you'll repeat again in Warrior 1 Pose (Virabhadrasana I) and High Lunge Pose (Alanasana). The seated sequence takes you into Wide Legged Forward Fold (Upavista Konasana) with some variations plus Bound Angle Pose (Baddha Konasana). Lying down, you'll do some leg stretching with a variation of Reclined Big Toe Pose (Supta Padanghustasana I) and then a variation of the Stomach Twist (Jathara Parivartanasana) before taking Savasana to relax.

Props needed: A yoga belt, some blocks and a blanket for under your knee if needed.

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