SPORTS YOGA
This sequence is a sports yoga! The postures are linked in almost continuous movements and call on the core and strength of the muscles. The postures engage the muscles of the arms, legs and core of the body in a rougher way than a normal asana because they are yoga postures or purely sports exercises.
This sequence is there to avoid any judgment of what we know how to do or not, we just need to make the most of the practice by putting joy into the effort and repetition!
This sequence is not recommended for beginners, but we have given you alternatives for beginners.
