It is summer and the perfect time to build strength. Bali Seal is the pose that helps create this strength from within.  Take it slow if you are starting out. After a few lifts and releases you will begin to feel the energy charge through you, giving you the internal as well as the external lift you need. Let us know how it felt. Namaste’
