In this class, we'll be working toward the pose astavakrasana, a.k.a. crooked sage, a.k.a. eight-angle pose. There are 5 key component parts of this pose that we'll work on during the class, including: arm strength, core strength (with a twist), hamstring length, adductor strength, and hip mobility. These are all wonderful parts of good functional movement. So, even if you do not get into the arm balance itself at the end, the journey will have been well worth it. Enjoy!
