Dragonfly

Here is the sequence from last Sunday. To make this pose accessible, break down the component parts. Look for similar shapes: chaturanga arms, twisted pigeon in the torso, bridgid's cross leg, parva bakasana, etc. Play with what you know to try what you don't know. You might be surprised! Let me know how it goes. I love your feedback.

Love,
