Wednesday's exercise was "Sunrise Flow," a gently heated relatively slow-paced vinyasa class. The instructor contacted some of us regulars and irregulars the day before class to encourage us to attend. She lured us in with promises of backbends, and I LOVE backbends. It was well-worth rolling out of bed at 5:30. We did various versions of eka pada rajakapotasana (one-legged king pigeon pose), lots of cobras, a couple bridges, half frog (one of my favorites), dolphin, some variations on down dog, anuvittasana, and some other stuff.
