We start the class warming up in standing with some leg strengthening movements including some side lunges and side plie movements. Rolling down into four-point kneeling we work on strengthening through our upper body and core with a leg pull in prone and swimming movements. Moving down onto our sides we strengthen our glutes further with toe tap and leg lifts and a clam exercise. Onto our backs we work our core control further with a Bridging exercise and double leg stretch. We also challenge our abdominals and oblique muscles with a criss-cross exercise. We then cool down with a gentle rotation stretch of the spine, glute and hamstring stretches and spine twist in sitting.
