Feeling like your transitions are a little less than silky?
We generally aim for smooth transitions in our yoga practice to get that delicious Vinyasa feel. With the transition from Down Dog through to lunge so common in our practice, sometimes slowing down and playing with different ways to help our body through can make all the difference.
