Yoga-Mojo’s Halloween Flow

This week’s flow is Dancing Heart with a focus on the back body and hips. Anjaneyasana (Crescent lunge pose or low lunge) opens the first element, with Trikonasana (Triangle) and Parsvottanasana (Intense Side Stretch) in the second. Your hips will love you with dancing pigeon, followed with a strong Chaturanga (or two) and a roll to Halasana in the third element.
