Day 4 begins looking how to use dynamism to create a powerful stance in Samasthiti (Equal Standing), and variations are added. You’ll do Vrshasana (Tree Posture) using a wall, which helps you generate skill in balance by illuminating the central axis from the crown of the head to the arches of the feet. You’ll also work on standing forward bend exercises at the wall, which offer a thrill in finding the balance and stability that comes when you vertically align your hips, knees and ankles. You’ll do in depth work on Head Balance preparatory exercises that emphasize strength building, and learn to enjoy in remaining upside down.
