Snail Pose: Opening

Beginner I

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.

So excited for the new peak poses series that are coming along! :D

Will try this one tonight, Satiya is a great instructor and I've been including more and more yin into my practice lately, as I have upped my triathlon training significantly. Slowing down feels so good.

Thank you DYMW, as always, keep up the great work!

This was a very challenging yet releasing class. It opened my hips more than I anticipated in addition to allowing my knees to talk to me and let me know I have some issues there.
Overall, a great class that I will do again.
