2/29/2016 Pyramid PosePyramid Pose, also known as parsvottanasana, is a standing posture that actively lengthens the sides of the body from the armpits all the way down to the outer feet. It's English name comes from the shape the leg's create when the posture is seen from the side. This pose creates strength, stability and balance in the legs and incorporates elements of forward bending at the hip but requires length to remain in the spine. We will approach this posture with flowing pairs of movements to warm-up the large muscles and joints, then explore various versions of pyramid pose held with strength and ease.

I attend Cheryl's class regularly and feel that my practice has improved immensely over the past few years due to her expert coaching. Her teaching style is clear and compassionate and her previous experience in teaching adults is evident in her organized approach and easy to understand instructions. I also appreciate that Cheryl not only teaches us about how to correctly position ourselves, but also touches on many aspects of yoga philosophy, which in turn has deepened my personal practice and heightened my awareness of the connection between mind and body, breath and relaxation. |
