*Important Please Read - Your wellbeing and safety is my priority. You are here to improve your health and general wellbeing and it is important to remember that. If at any point you feel pain in a specific Asana (Yoga Posture), take a step back and release out of it. Another way the body communicates to us is with the breath. If it’s tense or you keep holding it, that is a good hint that you need to step back. Instead of 100% effort, drop it into 50-60%. The breath should always flow comfortably.

Which tip is the most important for you?

[@hprisleg]

Wrist and knees are the more sensitive for me, as they are demanded on every single class…

In class and in life.. I find that a quick warm up before a practice goes a long way. I start every class with 2 mins of wrist warm ups 🙏
