Lunges

Center Floor; At the Barre

Lunges are mostly Sagittal, but can be combined with exercises on the Frontal or Transverse Planes of Motion. Traditionally, Lunges are performed at the barre, but if the class leans more toward a Yoga Fusion, the Crescent Lunge Series can be center floor. Exercises can focus on lower body or incorporate upper body and weights or props can be used for resistance.
