In this class, David breaks down Krounchasana (Heron Pose), showing how to build the posture from the ground up. Using Dandasana and Samasthiti as reference points, you’ll learn to approach the pose with clarity and skill rather than striving for superficial goals. Key teachings include:     •    Establishing a strong foundation by grounding the thigh of the down leg.     •    Honoring the integrity of the spine as you forward bend.     •    Understanding why extension and resistance matter more than getting the head to the shin.     •    Applying opposing forces through the arms and extended leg to create lift and stability.     •    Developing a controlled exit by bringing the leg into half-lotus—an action that mirrors many transitions in Second Series. These classes emphasize precision over performance. Rather than simply lifting the leg high or forcing head-to-shin, you’ll explore how Krounchasana cultivates balance, alignment, and mindful control.
