Kevin: Strap On (60 minutes)
Play Hard
•
1h 0m
This is a twisting practice. As class begins, we traction the hips with a yoga strap, which will create space in the abdomen, and teach the legs how to stabilize a twist. As we move through our standing poses, we try to recreate the memory of the strap, and occasionally pick it up to help us learn to twist even more effectively.
In terms of prop selection, the strap needs to be able to hold a loop that is the length of your leg in order to get the best benefit from this sequence. You'll also want two yoga blocks handy for a couple poses.
