Snail Pose: Opening

Access this free class

This is the first of a series of two classes that prepare you for a yin pose called snail, or karnapidasana. It's a yoga posture that requires a significant amount of flexibility in your back, particularly your lower back and neck, so it's important to progress toward it slowly and carefully. This is Satiya's special skill, and you'll find this yin yoga-like class to feel wonderfully delicious, rejuvenating and releasing for many parts of the body. It will prepare you for the next class in the series: Snail Pose: Deepening.

Satiya's deep space and way of teaching the breath were such a blessing in getting me back to movement after a bad cold. Thank you so much!

I wanted to like this class as I absolutely love everything else on doyogawithme, and this was part of the intermediate 30 day challenge. Unfortunately, it left me feeling pretty uneven as only the left hip got the benefit of Gomukhasana!

Thank you so much for the feedback! Wow, that's rare, that a pose would be missed on the other side and that we would miss it altogether! I'm glad you pointed that out.

The only fix was to remove gomukhasana on the one side, which I have done.
