Ashtanga Sequence Breakdown 3

From Bhujapidasana (Shoulder Pressing Pose) to Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose), this section of the class builds to the crescendo of the Primary Series and winds down towards the backbending section.

Learn how to finish strong and prepare your shoulders and back while keeping your core engaged. This part of the Series also contains some of the everyday essential postures for opening the hips and hamstrings like Baddha Konasana (Cobbler's Pose) and Upavishta Konasana (Seated Wide Angled Pose). It reinforces the fundamental principles of forward bending in Supta Padangushtasana (Supine Hand-To-Big-Toe Pose) and the important movement patterns of spinal rocks and backward rolls.
