Enhance Body-Mind Connection with Flowing Sequences and Hatha Poses
Body-mind connection plays a crucial role in overall well-being. By incorporating flowing sequences and Hatha poses into your practice, you can deepen this connection and experience a sense of harmony between your body and mind.
Flowing Sequences

- Exhale, fold forward into Forward Fold (Uttanasana)
- Inhale, lift halfway for a Flat Back (Ardha Uttanasana)
- Exhale, step back into Plank Pose
- Inhale, shift forward into Chaturanga Dandasana
- Exhale, lower down with control
- Inhale, lift into Upward Facing Dog (Urdhva Mukha Svanasana)
- Exhale, lift your hips into Downward Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana)
- Take a few breaths here before repeating or moving on to the next sequence
