Practice safely
These guides are for general education and are not medical advice or a substitute for in-person instruction. Yoga is physical, and every body is different: practice at your own risk, move within your own limits, and stop if something hurts. Talk with your physician before starting any new physical practice, especially if you are pregnant, injured, or managing a health condition. The safest place to learn any of these poses is in the room with a teacher who can see you, and our teachers adjust for every level in every class.

Reflection prompt for class
"Where can you allow ease while staying open?" Try weaving the posture in at the beginning, middle, or end of class throughout the month.
The best way to learn it is in the room.
