About this class
This class is all about your seat of confidence (the stomach area), building inner fire to create transformation from the inside out. Get ready to work the abs with c-curve, crunches and loads of lower leg lifts. Then moving into delicious Yoga twists and stretches that literally feel like a warm hug for your amazing body. Keep an eye out for the last little Yoga burn challenge… remember, breathe, show up and simply do your best.
Alignment notes
For C-Curve, place a rolled up blanket behind the lower back for extra support. During this class our feet are flat and our legs are squeezed together, this helps to engage the lower core. Lean as far back to feel the quiver in your abs but not so far back that your core switches off. If you feel any pain in the front of your hips, extend the legs long. For Bunny Hops (or teeny tiny reverse curls), the move is almost un-seeable. It’s a slight lift of the lower spine, all the strength is drawn from the lower abs, rather than momentum. When you move into Long Leg Kicks, only go as low as your abs can stay switched on. If you feel yourself lose integrity, take the legs back to a higher angle. For bridge pose (Setu Bandha Sarvangasana), be sure to set it up right before you lift your butt. Lay on your back, soles of the feet flat on the Earth, knees hip-width apart. Take your arms long by your sides, you should be able to just tickle your heels with your fingertips. Before you raise the butt up toward the sky, squeeze your butt, press the soles of the feet into the Earth and THEN lift off one vertebra at a time. With Boat Pose (Navasana) focus on squeezing the inner thighs together, this will switch on the lower abdominals. Keep your heart open by drawing the shoulder blades together. Belly button in toward the back bone! You got this!
