Objectives:

• Mobilise the spine and gently warm the whole body.
• Open the shoulders, chest and side body.
• Strengthen the legs, glutes and core.
• Develop balance and concentration through standing poses.
• Prepare the body for weight-bearing on one arm.

Theme (emotional meaning): This class explores the idea of holding yourself up when life feels unsteady. Side Plank Knee Crunch is a pose of courage, coordination and inner lift. As elbow and knee draw together, the body gathers itself into one clear action, reminding us that strength grows when we come back to centre.
