Today, for the first time in years, I was able to move into Bird of Paradise--on both sides. What a lovely warm-up and flow that got me to this place. Love this practice with Rachel!
I'm so glad I managed to find the time to do this full length class! Such a good balance of strength and stretch, challenging and calming. Thanks Rachel!
Can be made more challenging with the variations offered.
Rachel Scott at her best! :) Rachel has a beautiful way of making poses that aren't necessarily my favourite (*cough* Bird of Paradise :)) easy, effortless, and, dare I say, fun. From creating a sequence that warms up the right muscles to repetition of movement in different poses to create muscle memory, this was a rare moment where I actually enjoyed getting and staying in Bird of Paradise. Usually it feels awkward and unbalanced. Today I felt spacious and steady.
Oh... and Vasisthasana to Hanumanasana was super fun I had to pause the video to repeat it.
Thanks loads Rachel!
