This class explores Pasāsana as the root of Second Series. Begin by customizing your squat—heels lifted as needed—to find the true middle: hips fully down, weight forward in the feet, spine upright. From this foundation, add spinal rotations with arms clasped or outstretched, then progress into modifications (block leverage, single-leg binding, strap assist) before attempting the full pose. Emphasis is on spinal rotation over binding, grounding through legs and feet while twisting evenly from base to crown. Class closes with Second-Series vinyāsa work: compact lift-ups from squat with crossed or uncrossed ankles, practicing the “crux phase” of the jump-back to build strength, steadiness, and confidence.
