Week #10- Twist +vinyasa

First of all, I'd like to say:  Yay to everyone coming and trying out new variations, inversions, and arm balances!  It's been really cool to see people step out of their comfort zone and try new things.  As a teacher, I can't explain how rewarding it is to help you through the experience of doing something for the first time.  People have been getting upside down, using arm strength for balancing, and progressing through more challenging mobility movements.  You are doing fantastic and I hope you are noticing a positive change!

This week we are going to focus on twists and binds to help cleanse the organs of the body.

"Twisting creates a 'wringing' effect on the abdominal organs.  This helps to flush the liver and other organs, directing blood and lymphatic fluid into the larger vessels of the cardiovascular system, eliminating toxins."

Binds are not new to class, but this gives an opportunity to dive deeper and show a greater variety to asanas.

Looking forward to seeing you on your mat!
