Three Dog Yoga Practice Podcast

our NYD 108 is just three weeks away. get your asana ready with these training sessions that will build your base of endurance and focus.

this episode features 27 salutations separated into groups of 9, with breaks in between to explore postures that aren't usually on the menu.

key practices include: salutations, duh. flipped dog, side plank, upright lunge, crow, nerdy half-moon.

balance practice comes in a wide array of forms: balancing your breathing, balancing the movements of your spine, balancing strength and flexibility, balancing on two feet as you move your body into (and out of) asanas, and the more traditional balancing on one foot variety.

you'll get all of those here.

key practices: neck and shoulder release, deconstructed salutations, re-constructed salutations, lunges, standing leg raises, backbends, downward facing savasana, floor stretching, and real Savasana.

yeah, there are some unusual suspects in here...but mostly it's your standard flow that's going to give you everything you need: breathing, spinal mobility, balance, hip opening, and postural realignment.

but yeah, those hip openers get a little weird

key practices include: cat/cow, lunges, pyramids, twists, salutations, tree pose, shoulder openers, tree, and bridge postures.

grab a block and get on down to your mat. we're about to shift your energy.

key practices include: hips on a block, hands-free vinyasa for about 30 minutes, steadily flowing salutations, and floor stretching.

get your flow going, but take it easy on your upper body. 

there are a few vinyasa series in this one, but we warm up to it...and give alternatives for the traditional chaturanga/updog.

key practices include: core strengthening, spinal mobility, vinyasa, airplane (think locust in the air), and a finishing backbend of your choice. 

nothing fancy, nothing dramatic. this one’s powerful because it keeps you focused on the moment.

we really dial into the rhythm of vinyasa…by, you guessed it, focusing on the breath. and of course, due to caffeine consumption on the teacher’s part, there are some side trips into prog rock, snakes, and contortionism…

key practices include: hip openers, salutations, extended balance sequence, backbends, and revolving deer pose.

this one starts slow, stays slow, and gets the job done.

key practices include: twists, sidebands, gentle salutations and lunges, eagle variations, kneeling hip openers, reclined back bends, and physiological sighs. 

welcome to our December deep dive: peace.

this month, the flow will be focused, balances will be simple and long-held, and restorative postures are being served for dessert.

enjoy!

one breath, one pose. keep it simple. do it well.

key practices: vinyasa through all the basic postures and ranges of motion, with a choose-your-own finishing backbend, and relaxation. 

need to work out the kinks and get your groove back...this one's for you.

key practices: a solid pre-flow stretch session, moderately paced flow, mobility work, and a long, relaxing floor series before Savasana.
