Level 1 : Sequence 5
62 minutes
In Sequence 5 we have introduced Salamba Sarvangasana (shoulderbalance). Please only do this (and Halasana - plough pose) if you have already practiced this in class and know how to do so safely. Also, please don't be tempted to practice these poses without enough height under the shoulders - make an adequate raise or you might hurt your neck. Stacks of (firm) blankets, big beach towels, or books wrapped up in your mat can all work.
If you don't practice shoulderbalance, Julie will briefly talk you through the alternatives:
Viparita Kirani ('legs up the wall') or
Setu Bhanda Sarvangasana (bridge pose)
For this sequence it will be useful not only to have the props for shoulderbalance (as above), but even if you don't do shoulderbalance, have a blanket or thick towel(s) as a raise for the seated poses. And a belt could come in handy too, as well as a brick/thick dictionary etc.
Sequence Audio
We have created audio files for you to use with the practice sheets, with Julie teaching the sequence in real time. You will be able to use these sheets and audio files when and wherever it suits you and repeat them as often as you like.
