feeling some mental fatigue? just want to think more clearly?
this one's for you.
it starts with Supta Baddha Konasana and moves backwards into vinyasa...easing your mind and body into focus and serenity.
good any time of day, and especially after a day at work or a challenging workout.
in this strong and focused flow, we make some fun with Standing Leg Raise, leaving aside the traditional alignment and working it in flow to strengthen the hips, hamstrings and core. plus, we'll cruise into some really nice stretching and relaxation at the end.
Parsvokonasana / Side Angle Pose is one of those great all-purpose asanas that work strength, flexibility, and mindfulness all in one. this practice preps you for it, offers a few variations on the theme, and finishes on the floor for relaxation after a job well done.
this one focuses in on different variations on Pigeon Pose...feel free to stick with your favorite or try something new!
ok, this one does get a little yoga weird...there's some face and jaw massage incorporated: great for clearing out the sinuses during the spring transition, and letting go of the tension we hold in our expressions.
but there's also plenty of regular flow to get your whole body moving. you'll de-stress, find balance, and feel good.
enjoy!
this one goes deep on revolved triangle and its component parts: strong standing postures, twists, and hip opening. you'll start slow and work your way up.
also included: ridiculous chatter about ottomans and Monty Python references.
well, it started out to be about twisting triangle...and turned into a discussion about the Down Dog variation where you turn one foot out, bend one knee, tilt your hips up, stretch your hip and hope you're doing it right.
then, the fabulous hellogretchen gives that word salad a rebranding that everyone (with a sense of humour) can appreciate.
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.
this one gets going with Down Dog and keeps going...through strong flow, balance and a mini-workshop on Revolved Triangle, right up to Savasana.
bookmark this one for when you want a strong flow without a ton of chaturanga...even if you don't need to go light on your arms, it's a good break from the usual.
we move everything, pay special attention to posture, and take plenty of time to stretch out.
thanks for playing!
