This is a great online vinyasa yoga class sequence to build strength towards handstand. This class can be utilized as a 45-minute flow, incorporating Chaturanga to Upward Facing Dog, back to Downward Facing Dog as the vinyasa piece and can be placed in between sides.
The warm-up for this class, known as “Puttering” by YogaRenew standards, focuses on finding length and straightening the arms and legs. You can find similar classes to this one on the YogaRenew app!
