Tick Tock Tick Tock

The Practice: 12.18.11

Ticktocks – Viparita Chakrasana from Urdhva Dhanurasana. This peak pose is a breakdown of 3 accessible poses... Down dog, Handstand and Urdhva Dhanurasana. When you put the 3 together in a sequence, its a whole lot more intense and fun! We worked with the theme of Lila - Divine Play. Have fun with this. Don't take yourself too seriously. Remember to look at it in component parts, so its not too overwhelming. Enjoy!
