40 min: Belly Down Backbends & Hip Openers, Mixed Levels
This week I am bringing you another mixed levels practice where we focus on belly down backbends and hip opening. We do have a few moments that aren't "belly down", but the priority to stay close to the earth while finding sustainable strength and length in the back stays true. Practice starts more gently but we do build up to strong back chain activation, and we eventually work up to a big mermaid variation of pigeon that really emphasizes the natural relationship between hips and heart. As always, scale up or down as you need!
