|
Special Topic 2: Standing and Finishing Poses |
| A vital but sometimes neglected part of our practice! These poses are more than just warm-ups and cool-downs... Petri shows how the standing poses set up the correct flow of energy for our practice, and how the finishing poses restore and rebalance our energy. Suitable for all levels.
