Yoga
Here's a simple sequence you can do every day to strengthen, open and enliven your body. Start with cat and cow movements, then progress into hip stretches, leg work and chest openers. A little vinyasa flow and some strong standing poses will increase heat and tone your body. Finish it off with a twist and a gentle resting pose before gliding on to the rest of your day! Suggested Prop: A block.
Yoga
Vinyasa yoga includes a lot of poses with the arms reaching overhead, but fully elevating the arms can trigger shoulder discomfort for many students. This practice eliminates any postures that elevate the arms beyond 90 degrees, while still being strong and dynamic. Jump right in with core work, flow through sun salutations, then challenge your strength with locust, boat and forearm planks. You’ll get the powerful flow you’re after while keeping shoulder tension at bay.
Yoga
Take a brief break in your day to give your shoulders and chest some love, so you can walk away feeling taller and more free. You'll begin seated with a shoulder swirls using a strap, then come onto your belly for a nice long stretch on each side. All you need is a few minutes to relax deeply and continue your day with an open heart. Props Needed: A strap. Props Suggested: A blanket.
Yoga
In Chinese medicine the water element nourishes all the other organs, providing an anchor that soothes the body and allows it to relax into a deep, rejuvenating sleep. This practice works on the water element and the meridians associated with it to help prepare the body and mind for a restful sleep. While helpful anytime, this class is perfect to do right before bed.
Yoga
After many hours of sitting in the same position, sometimes you need to hit the reset button. Regain a better sense of space and mobility in your hips and low back as you move through seated shoelace on both sides of your body, forward bends, side stretches and a seated forward fold. Come back to this practice after long days of sitting or standing, giving much needed attention to your low back and sacral area. Props Needed: A block and a blanket.
