Class 7 - The Finishing Sequence

7 mins

In the final class, David guides Sarah Durney Hatcher through the complete Ashtanga Finishing Backbend Sequence as taught by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois—a powerful culmination of all the previous work. The sequence includes 3 Urdhva Dhanurasanas, with the final one rising to stand, followed by 3 Drop Backs, 3 Tic Tacs, and 3 Walk Overs, ending in Scorpion. We continue with 3 Half Backs, and finish with a final, sustained backbend to seal the practice. This class brings together tradition, strength, and grace—a full-spectrum expression of Ashtanga backbending mastery.
