Level 2 — Freeing the Bird of Prana, Opening the Wings of a Yoga Practice
Reviews from VideoFitness
Total 90 minutes. Intermediate level. The chaptering is similar, but this Asana practice is 59 minutes, and definitely more challenging, with full arm balance, headstand, camel, full backbend, lotus. I am going to modify, or skip the poses I can't do yet.
