ABDOMINAL POSTURES AND FORWARD EXTENSIONS
The general basic sequence, which follows the 5 categories of postures, begins with the standing postures and is followed by the sitting postures, forward extensions, lateral extensions (twists), backward extensions, inversions and Savasana.
The abdominal strengthening postures are separate from all the others and are placed between the sitting postures and the forward extensions and precede the inversions. These postures prepare the body for the forward extensions because they facilitate the extension of the back and they prepare the legs for the inversions.
In this sequence, you alternate between abdominal poses and forward extensions to finish with handstand poses close to the ground to use the strength awakened by the sequence.
