In week 2 we dive deeper into the forearm bridge and lotus. Ardha Baddha Padma Paschimottasana (in the thumbnail) is the beginning of your padmasana journey. Get comfortable with this pose first.
Did you know that the lotus pose (padmasana) is the ultimate pose we are to master for pranayama and meditation. This 3-week cycle is all about external hips rotation and preparing us for the lotus pose. Whenever I work on hips, I love to add backbends into the mix. Dwi pada viparita dandasana is a challenging backbend that targets the upper back and shoulders.

Master the art of standing on your head. Remember that you need to be extra careful - use the wall for support. Stop immediately if you feel dizzy or uneasy in your neck or head. Listen for my cues and back off needed.
