Three Dog Yoga Practice Podcast

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.

just about any yoga you do can be energizing (or calming...or best of all, both).

this practice focuses on backbending with skill and ease to open up your posture and leave you feeling light and calm. perfect for when life is giving you heavy chaos...or when you just want to feel good in your body.

enjoy!

yep. every body can do the pose known as Wild Thing...

as in, we can all learn the key strengtheners and stretches that comprise this side-bending side plank. give it a go and feel more open in your chest and shoulders, and stronger in your back and abdominals.

 

 

this one starts with a good floor stretch, then moves up into steady flow and balance practice...a solid practice for shifting your energy anytime.

a super simple meditation good anytime you want to feel clear, compassionate, and focused.

this podcast was taped live as part of our MEDITATION 101 series and starts a little rough in terms of sound quality. but...we left it in, because it's not about being perfect and polished, but being just as you are.

start in Savasana, make your way backward through the series to child's pose...a perfect practice for the days you're fatigued, less than motivated, or coming back from an injury.

in this simple flow, you'll get your head in line, your neck freed up, and your shoulders back to where they like to be.

a perfect refresh for desk sitters, athletes, gardeners, anyone carrying a little extra stress or anyone holding a smart phone...hey, that's probably you!

looking to improve your balance? or your posture? this one's got you covered.

in it, we explore the relationship between grounding down and lifting up...keeping balance as simple as making a foot to brain connection.

love them or love to get them over with, planks are an essential component of vinyasa practice...they allow us to flow from pose to pose, build core strength and instill good posture -- when done properly.

in this episode, we'll explore: one major alignment point -- lifting the back of your head to line up with your spine...and one major action item -- pressing your hands firmly into the floor.

combined, these two essentials will refine your high plank and chaturanga posture, strengthen your core, and create a feeling of buoyancy as you flow through your vinyasas.,

in this episode, we dig deeply into child's pose (in the context of an all-purpose vinyasa class -- you will move, too!).

it's our hope to help you find the alignment for child's pose that's most helpful to you, so you have a go-to resting pose for those moments in practice when your body, mind or spirit needs a rest.

resting is important...it's not a break, it's part of the practice. when we rest, we come back stronger, more renewed, more resilient.
