Friday Focus: Detoxing Flow

For our February purification, let’s get things flowing!

Here’s a simple vinyasa (taken from our classes this week) to blend the breath with movement. Be sure to warm up a bit with Cat-Cow &/or Child’s Pose before transitioning into the flow.

Detoxifying Vinyasa:

Adho Mukha Svanasana to Virabhadrasana I to Virabhadrasana II to Reverse Virabhadrasana II to Parsvakonasana to Wide Angle Urdhva Hastasana

Pivot to the left side, take downward dog and repeat.

Tip: If you are having trouble transitioning, skip the Downward Dog and go straight into Virabhadrasana I.

Enjoy!
