Three Dog Yoga Practice Podcast

props needed: blanket, pillow or other soft prop...about six inches high.

in this practice, we focus on strengthening backbends (sphinx, cobra, locust, makarasana, and bow), using a rolled up blanket to provide support for longer holds and more effective learning.

if you're looking to strengthen the muscles that hold you upright, achieve better backbends, or just spend an hour doing something real good for yourself, this one's for you.

yes, you read that right. yoga can help you experience more joy and creativity.

this one is designed to do just that. you'll move lightly, practice new ways to approach traditional postures. plus, you'll get a few good long hip openers and relaxation in, too.

enjoy!

want to learn to breathe more effectively in your practice ... and daily life?

in this episode we start with basic, but powerful, pranayama techniques for every body. then, we apply them to vinyasa and specific asana shapes.

and, of course, there's Savasana.

you'll relieve stress, breathe easier, and feel better.

the week of daylight savings time can be an energy-suck...this practice can help you get your mojo back.

we start with spinal mobilization, get moving with simple vinyasa, then spend a good amount of time with one-legged balance postures, easy backbends, and deep hip openers.

it's lovely. really. we hope you'll give it a go anytime you want to relieve stress, refresh yourself, and feel better all over.

 

this is a really nice well-rounded practice focused on a relaxed approach to balance challenges and hip opening.

what your ribcage and underarms have to do with your side plank? everything.

this practice deep dives on the well-loved, awkwardly named Stepover Side Plank to strengthen and lengthen your side bodies and leave you feeling light and happy all over.

want better balance and arm balances...one way to do it: activate and strengthen your hip stabilizers. this practice will teach you how, and get you an overall feel-good, full-body flow.

highlights: core series, five warrior flow, eagle/dancer/ankle to knee flow, a deep dive on tree, and eight-angle arm balance.

this one starts with some trigger point therapy for feet and calves...no special tools required.

after a good bit of restorative massage, we get into a strong flow and wrap with calming stretches and relaxation.

few poses work the feet, hamstrings, and hips like Parsvottanasana/Pyramid Pose. this deep dive gets intense, but stays calm with generous opportunities to return to your breath and investigate new ways of working familiar postures.

lunge salutations, crescent lunge twists, and triangles focus on leg flexibility...and a complimentary backbend series brings balance to the equation.
