Iynegar Yoga - Forward Extensions

 A session devoted to practice and development of paschima pratana sthiti (forward extensions), poses which are considered to be soothing and nourishing for the nervous system. Preparatory standing poses will develop stamina and heat, and preparatory upright seated poses will establish a firm basis for the more intricate forward extensions. We will have the opportunity to sample subtle flavours of different seated forward extensions before winding down with restorative asanas.
