Journey Into Yoga

I love the seated forward fold because you can do it almost anywhere; well, it may look weird if you do it at a restaurant, but other than that it is very accessible. You can do it at home, as a passenger in a car, at the office when you have some space alone, even at the airport or the doctor’s office. Whenever you need some calm and ease and need a nice back stretch, this is your pose.

Sphinx is one of those yoga postures that I can only best describe as subtle. This pose which has a restful component is a beautiful low back stretch which I am excited to share with you.

Well, we discovered downward dog, so it makes sense that there is a yoga pose called puppy pose! A slight inversion posture where the head is lower than the heart, this pose will provide the advantages of an inversion; changing the flow in the body both on a physical level as well as on an emotional level.

In our exploration of legs up the wall, we find a posture that is very effective in helping alleviate stress and anxiety. A full body tension releaser, this cooling and calming posture has so many benefits, and is extremely effective at relaxing the body and the mind.

Intense side stretch….hmmm intrigued? Parsvotanasana has never been an easy pose for me, reason being it can be difficult for those of us with tight hamstrings. This challenging standing forward fold helps to bring stability and balance to the body and the mind. Sometimes called pyramid pose, a name which emphasizes the pose’s powerful foundation and strength.

Wall stretch, sometimes called wall push, is one of the first yoga poses that I personally learned. It seemed so simple at first, but then I realized there is actually a lot to it. This posture stretches the back of the legs, the shoulders and the back; it can also expose a lot of our postural habits along the way.

Warrior 2 is also a power pose, which I discussed in our warrior 1 episode, but it bares repeating. In addition to encouraging strength flexibility and balance, this posture can bring power and resilience which can help the emotional body. Tough meeting or situation coming up which requires strength to manage? Do a warrior 2 and find your inner strength!

The practice of yoga is full of many poses or asanas. On a physical level, some of these poses help to improve flexibility; some help to improve strength, and some do both. Warrior 1 is a pose which encourages the promotion of both strength and flexibility; it also helps to improve balance. This pose is a member of the warrior family, and is a power pose which can help provide us with the strength we may need to get through a challenging event, circumstance or situation.

Lunge is a perfect pose that helps to examine 2 very different aspects we find in yoga: strength and flexibility. This pose does them both. Within the practice of yoga there are some poses that address flexibility more, some that address strength more, but there also postures that do both: lunge is a perfect example of one such double duty posture. In addition to being an important stand alone pose, lunge is also a wonderful gateway pose to other energetic standing poses.
