This class develops Pārśva Dhanurāsana (Side Bow) through drills that emphasize rhythm, momentum, and continuous backbend form. Begin with Dhanurāsana preps—belly down, knees bent, shins vertical, arms reaching near the ankles without grabbing—to rehearse thigh lift and chest expansion. Then roll side to side without losing the bow shape, letting the transition itself build strength and extension. Add catching the ankles, varying speed and rhythm, and eventually holding steady in side-bow before returning to center. Props like a blanket under the pelvis help lift the thighs while keeping the belly grounded. The focus: kick back through the legs, open the chest, keep the spine coiled, and use rolling transitions as a playful way to refine form. The session closes with holding bow at center, then exiting cleanly through Up Dog into vinyāsa
