In this class, we start to put it all together. Make sure you feel you've mastered parts 1-4. This is a slow flow where we incorporate what we've learned about neutral and externally rotated poses, and we move from one to the other safely and consciously. Backbends, core strengthening, hip openers, and some love for the hamstrings when we get to the floor. As always, make it about breathing deeply, and connecting to your breath. Go at a pace that feels right for you, and rest at any time. As you up-level your practice, please don't forget the foundation of compassion for yourself. Awareness of sensation. Deep breathing. That's the real yoga!
