Yoga with a Strap
This is a 30 minute, real time yoga class on how to use a yoga strap. In this class we will use a yoga strap or a yoga belt and I will demonstrate several yoga strap yoga exercises that are suitable for yoga beginners to intermediate yoga practitioners.
The focus will be on using the yoga strap in yoga postures to release your hips and hamstrings. So we will be using the yoga strap for hips stretches and we will be using the yoga strap for hamstring stretches. Additionally I will be using the yoga strap to for shoulder stretches and to improve your shoulder mobility. A lot of focus will be given to how to use the yoga strap for posture as we practice our standing yoga poses. I will show you how to use your yoga strap in boat pose to strengthen your abdominals.
Time throughout the class will be given to show you how to tie the yoga strap in the various postures from savasana or corpse pose, to boat pose, to yoga poses for posture.
