Welcome to our WTF series where Kathryn breaks down common yoga poses that make you think, "WTF?!"
On today's menu: Tittibhasana or Firefly Pose. A magnificent arm balance that looks like it must feel glorious but is actually an astronomical amount of work. This posture calls for open hamstrings, deep flexion, core, balance — so yeah, a little bit of everything. So, everything we shall do! Part flow, part workshop, this class will be fun (yes, fun!) and deepen your understanding of this powerful arm balance.
Level 2 - 2/3
