Ladder flows differ from a regular Vinyasa class in their sequencing. We begin with two or three postures and add one or two new movements each round, with a vinyasa or sun salutation linking the rounds. We do five rounds. By the fifth you have memorised a complete flow and feel more comfortable in every posture, trying to do it better each time. It challenges the mind as much as the body.
Ladder Fit Flow is a full body workout that balances strength and flexibility and becomes a moving meditation. Two classes a week, 45 to 60 minutes each:
- Week 1: Yoga Roll for the arms and back, and Twisted Twist for the hips, towards Hanumanasana.
- Week 2: Dive to Starfish Pose with Side Plank and Half Moon, and Impossible Possible Warrior from Chair Pose to Warrior III.
- Week 3: Twisted Plank with Wild Thing, and Crunching the Core for the core, front and back.
- Week 4: Fly As a Bird of Paradise with Dancer's Pose, and Legs of Steel for the hips and legs.
Level 1-2, no props needed. Join Amaranta on the mat.
