In any movement, there are 3 planes: Sagittal (left/right), Coronal (front/back), and Transverse (Rotation).

This class focuses on the sagittal plane of movement, also referred to as lateral postures. The primary sensations of these postures are inner thigh and groin lengthening outward and outer thigh retracting inward. These postures include:

• Parighasana (Gate Pose)

• Utthita Trikonasana (Extended Triangle Pose)

• Virabhadrasana II (Warrior 2 Pose)

• Utthita Parsvakonasana (Extended Side Angle Pose)

This class also explores “jumping.” Jumping is natural way to bring levity, lightness, and agility into the body. Starting from Tadasana (Mountain Pose), we practice jumping into Utthita Hasta Padasana (Extended Hands and Feet Pose) 5 times to experience the effects of this transition. There are options to step instead of jump, especially if you’re on your cycle, pregnant, or jumping is not accessible at this time in your movement practice.

Take this practice at least once a day to bring circulation to the pelvis (hips), inner thighs, groins, outer thighs, and entire leg system. This is especially key if you find yourself sitting a lot throughout your day. So everyone basically. ;)

Movements starts at 4:53.
