The class begins with a standing warm up with some chest openings and combined heel raises. We then challenge our leg control and balance with a standing clam. We then open out through our hips and work our legs further with a side plie squat with some combined heel raises, and move into some lunges each side. We then roll down onto our fronts on the mat and work our upper body with a breaststroke prep and legs with some one leg kicks before stretching the spine with a cobra stretch.

Moving into sitting with work our abdominals with some oblique roll backs as well as some upper body strengthening with some triceps dips. We then roll back onto the mat onto our backs and continue to engage and strengthen our core and abdominals with a double leg stretch, scissors and cycling movements. We then cool down with a rotation stretch, glute and hamstring stretches and finish in sitting with a bow and arow stretch.
