In this video clip, as the class folds forward, Paul Grilley presents the theory that the two most important postures in yoga are Caterpillar Pose, Paschimottanasana, and Saddle Pose, Supta Virasana. They directly affect the areas that we tend to be most timid about: the hips, sacrum and back. He recommends gentle relaxed persistent practice of these two poses.

Thank you Sven Holcomb for all your help with the Crib 2007 Footage.
Thank you for giving me an opportunity to experience master teacher Paul Grilley. Loved that he said seated forward fold is one of the most important poses in all of yoga. It is my favorite pose. I am sorry the video did not also include having him lead a backbend.
