Pose of the Month

In traditional yoga texts, Baddha Konasana, or Bound Angle Pose, is said to destroy disease and banish fatigue.

Parivrtta Trikonasana (or Revolved Triangle) is one of the more challenging poses, for beginners and more experienced students alike. This is perhaps because the pose works on many levels - as well as a strong standing pose, it is also a twist and a balance. 

Utkatasana, or chair pose, is a strong, grounding standing posture. On a physical level it helps firm and strengthen the legs and back. In Sanskrit, utkatasana means 'powerful pose' - and this is certainly a challenging asana, requiring a balance of opposites in the upper and lower body.

Navasana, or Boat Pose, is a challenging pose that develops determination and stamina, as well as helping to strengthen the core abdominal area and muscles of the lower back. Navasana can also help to counter stress and boost digestion.

Intense Side Stretch Pose (Parsvottanasana) is taught to beginners, as well as in more advanced classes.
