Ripple and Flow

In this video sequence, get ready to ripple, roll, twist, and backbend as you shapeshift your body into new positions and visit familiar shapes in new and wonderful ways. We'll move through deep belly-bending lunges and twisting poses, including a "drunken" Triangle Pose, to warm up for a dancing backbending sequence.

Here are my picks for tunes to get you in the groove:

Without Love, Aretha Franklin
66 Meters, Indian Ropeman
Black Magic Woman, Santana
Kissing My Love, Bill Withers
Put a little love in your heart, Dolly Parton
Primitive, Annie Lennox
In Love with You, Erykah Badu

Remember, let your breath guide you through the sequence. Most of all, have fun, be fearless, and move in your own, sweet way!
