About this class

This is one of the older MerryBody classes. For higher quality sound and video select a newer class.  We all want better posture, right? RIGHT! It feels so good when your heart feels open, your shoulders are relaxed and down and your spine feels aligned. This flow is the ultimate way to work on getting better posture. It opens the heart and stretches those shoulders, making you want to stand tall and shine bright from the inside out.

Alignment notes

For your warrior 1 (Virabhadrasana 1), ensure the feet are hip distance, rather than one in front of the other (think train tracks). Square your hips by pulling your back hip forward and your front hip back. Be sure to keep your back heel down on the Earth at a 45-degree angle, really press that back foot down into the Earth and squeeze the leg tight to create a strong foundation.F
