If you head to one of Caroline Kelley's vinyasa classes this month, you can expect to get a little extra emphasis on her asana of the month: Purvottanasana.Here's what Caroline has to say about this heart opening pose:
"In Ashtanga Yoga this posture is performed after seated forward fold (Paschimottansa). Purvottanasana extensively stretches the front body. The pose strengthens the wrists, improves movement of the shoulder joints and expands the chest. It's a great posture to add to our winter practice. Have you noticed how we tend to hunch over in the cold and wet weather creating a closed off posture? This energetic pose will counter act that and relieve winter fatigue.
Variations of this posture will be taught in Beginning and level one classes."
Come shake off your winter funk with Caroline at Yoga Mayu, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30am to 8:30am.
