pawanmuktasana yoga series 1

with rick crispo

 

This series of yoga postures opens up the joints, relaxes the muscles, and promotes general health.
This class is appropriate for all-levels. Pawan means wind. Mukta means freedom or release. Asana, of course, means pose or posture. Thus, the Pawanmuktasana sequences are designed to release the flow of energy, and remove any blockages that prevent its free flow in the body, or in the mind. Continued practice of these sequences can prevent new blockages from forming. These movements are excellent for people suffering from arthritis, high blood pressure, or for people with heart problems who are advised to avoid vigorous exercise.
