The class today is a strong, 125 minute session, focusing on opening the upper, mid, lower and side ribs and working the back and hips. This class is the perfect Sunday session, it will leave you feeling stronger and relaxed and set you up nicely for the rest of the day.

As with most of Carlton's classes, the session starts slowly with twists and stretches to get you warmed up and ready for the stronger poses. There is a number of core and abdominal poses next and then the intensity starts to increase with bridge and dolphin, your first inversion.

From there you will work through some sun salutations before moving into a series of three pose vignettes. Scattered through the standing poses are a selection of inversions. Remember, with the stronger poses only do what feels right for you, Carlton will always give a lower intensity alternative to every one of the harder poses.

The class culminates with a selection of back bends, so make sure if your knees are sensitive you have something to pad them with when working through the lunges.

Some other props that will assist you in the class include a block, a roll, a strap and access to a wall for the inversions.

As with all of Carlton's classes, you will work through a series of poses. Some of the poses are stronger than others, but you will always be given alternative poses that are less intensive.

It is important to listen to your body and work at a level that suits you. If you feel any pain or discomfort then ease back.
