3h 14m
Yoga Director Michael Ponte introduces a brief history of Vinyasa and its typical sequencing. Michael teaches the basic anatomy terms necessary to learn about externally rotated standing poses. In this lesson, you will practice and break down a Vinyasa flow that focuses on building strength and opening up the hips for externally rotated standing poses, like Virabhadasana II. Michael will then breakdown and analyze the sequence, explaining the essential elements of external rotation of the hips. The session forms the basis of your understanding of standing poses, and builds on what you've already learned about the history of modern yoga.
