This standing flow is part of an ancient tantric yoga sequence named The Five Element Form (and also the Dance of Shiva and Shakti). The movements resemble Hatha yoga postures and Tai Chi movements. It's a sequence that helps to connect the body and the mind and invite harmony. There are no Downward Facing Dogs but lots of circling movements to nourish the joints. I love this practice in the morning but it's also a nice class to do during a midday break. No mat required! Look out for Part 2 coming soon.
