Workout Yoga
Legs and Abdominals
Carla's note
A short strength practice focused on the legs and the abdominal wall. It starts on all fours and in Adho Mukha Svanasana, and repeats the sequence of plank, Chaturanga Dandasana and Urdhva Mukha Svanasana, with sustained load on the shoulder girdle and on stabilising the torso. A block of abdominal work follows, with Uttanasana as a counterpose and a short Savasana. It works as a practice on its own or as a complement to another.Carla Gonçalves

About Workout Yoga
Workout Yoga uses the poses to condition the body: planks, chair pose, warriors, repetitions. You finish with the body worked and the mind clear.
