10 min plan no. 6

I wanted to add something new. Having scanner issues, so will add more diagrams when sorted. Also getting close to the dissertation deadline, so I’ll probably not add the detail it deserves until the end of April. Enjoy

So just a quick reminder: standing in Tadasnana – legs active, front body lifting and opening, back body moving in and descending. Jump or step your feet wide apart…

Into trikonasana: turn the back foot in a little and the front foot and leg all the way out. Does this sound familiar? We’ve done this a hundred times in class: don’t over-think it, let your body lead your head.
