This is the sequence from last week's intermediate/advanced group practice. We worked with the theme of precision - being just that and no other; being exactly that, neither more nor less. It was a lot of fun. How much effort is enough to advance your asana practice?! Explore that concept in your body, while practicing this sequence. We worked with two main key actions: strong legs (muscle energy) and clear alignment in the shoulders (arm bones back, chest lifting up toward chin).
One detail to note, if full natarajasana (both hands to ankle) is new to you, take it out of the end of this sequence. Its a complicated pose, if you are new to it. However, if natarajasana is accessible to you, its perfect after all the deep pigeon variations. Its the same hand hold with the foot and same shoulder actions, just standing up on one leg. Enjoy!
