March : Forward Bends

Hello Friends,

Thank you for joining me in February for our practice and discussion on inversions. Turning upside down during practice has numerous benefits for the cardiovascular, lymphatic, nervous and endocrine systems of the body. Raising the legs facilitates a healthy exchange of nutrients and wastes between cells and capillaries. Simply practicing Vipariti Karani (Legs up the wall) at home for 3-5 min. offers physiological benefits.

Please note that there will be no class on March 1 or 8.

This March, we will discuss the benefits of forward bends. Folding forward helps relax our minds and releases tense muscles along the spine and legs.

March Focus : Forward Bends



Uttanasana (Standing forward Bend)
Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bend)
Baddha Konasana (Bound Angle Pose)
Parsvottanasana (Intense Side Stretch)
Janu Sirsasana (Head-to-Knee Bend)
