Video Transcript

"Hello my name is Scott Soller and I'm here on behalf of expertvillage. Welcome to the power flow series. We're going to be doing some flowing movements progressively going from ease of movement to more challenging positions. We'll be both flowing and holding postures which has a wonderfully opening and strengthening effect. Remember your power strength is connected to your flexibility. So it is important to keep in mind that you want to stay with the strength of your breathing. Body, breath, mind is yoga and the breath is the bridge, so let the breath be your guide. Imagine the movements coming out of the breathing and in this way we'll be able to modify and to adjust and to back off when we need to. We'll also be able to press when the time is right. So why don't we begin our first series. We'll do a couple of warm-ups and we'll take it from there."
