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.

Your building-block style classes are absolutely my favorite. For the first time ever, I managed raise my bird all the way up on both sides. Thank you! One thing I wanted to pass along, my PiYo instructor has started mirroring the class so when she says, "Lift your left leg," she's actually lifting her right leg but it allows the class to mirror her moves. I find I'm less likely to start with the wrong leg that way. I'm looking forward to more classes from you, Andrea.
WOW what a joyous class, Andrea! I have been slowly building up to Intermediate classes after a year of being less on the mat. This was a perfect balance of challenge and excitement. Thank you. Namaste!
Another brilliant class with Andrea. I don't know how she does it but I always manage to get further into a pose than I've ever managed before, with her guidance and tips as she gives me the confidence to try. Today I actually got a bind that I've been trying to get for months! Her guidance is brilliant and I always feel included even if I can't quite get to the full pose. I love all of Andrea's classes and it's like practising with a friend <3
Loved this class as I do all the classes from Andrea. Challenging, fun and energizing. Thank you! I am so grateful for yet another wonderful hour of yoga.
