This class dives into Pasāsana with an emphasis on foundation and transitions. Begin with the entrance: a crouch-and-spring forward leap from Down Dog into a compact squat. From there, establish the full squat as your set-up before twisting—hips all the way down, weight forward in the feet, spine free to rotate. Explore drills like clasped-elbow twists for even rotation, internal arm rotation for smooth binds, and modifications using blocks, straps, or single-leg binding to access the twist without collapsing. We also examine common pitfalls—hips too heavy, leaning forward, or forcing the bind—and how to fix them by rooting the stance and spiraling the spine. Class closes with focused work on the second-series jump-back: lifting feet directly underneath you from squat, practicing with blocks or shins-crossed lifts, and training the “crux phase” of transitions that builds strength and confidence.
