Rise from the ashes to reclaim your confidence and resilience. In this class, Andrea breaks down the necessary elements to rise up into bird of paradise: inner thigh opener, internal shoulder rotation, core strength, and transitional balancing. Note: A strap is optional for this practice. As well as a blanket or block for knee support.

This can either be done as a stand-alone class or as Day 10 of Cultivate Your Inner Teacher 14-Day Intermediate Yoga Challenge.

Amazing, fun class! Felt like I was on the beach, too ^_^ One suggestion to the DYWM team - the class isn't categorized, and I guess it's Vinyasa/Power Yoga. It may help people find it if you add the type of yoga :)

I've been using Do Yoga With Me for 4 years but I don't think I ever commented here before. UNTIL THIS VIDEO. It is SO good. Andrea is so cheerful that I feel like I'm practicing with a friend so I don't mind when it gets hard. Her transitions are unexpected in a good way, and helpful--I was able to postures I have never done before. I'm excited to try all of her classes on here now.

Wow. Just wow. Your teaching style certainly resonates with me. I have not yet gained the hip mobility to preform bird of paradise and I usually sit and breath and visualize myself in the pose one day or stay in a much more modified version. Though I had difficulty rising up in my puppet string today, it is thrilling to have a reasonable, attainable goal to step stone to the complete pose one day. Thank you.
