6 Movements of the Spine Yoga Practice
Included in this practice: the six movements of the spine (and the extra seventh one!). The sequence moves through twists, sidebends, forward and backbends, and the added axial extension as well.
All movements and poses are done either seated or on hands and knees, so no standing poses included. You can expect several Half-Butterfly poses, Gate poses, seated Hand-to-Big-Toe poses, some Cat-Cow variations, and many more that get your spine moving.
The only props that I use for this practice is a small towel, but you might go through the practice without it as well.

Sun & Moon Yoga Flow
zhlédnutí 320Před dnem
This Hatha Yoga Flow is a combination of energising Sun Salutations and calm Moon Salutations. The practice starts with three variations of saluting the sun and ends with one slower round of the Moon Salutation flow, and - of course - a Savasana relaxation. One interpretation of the word Hatha is Ha meaning the "sun" and tha meaning the "moon". Inspired by this, I've combined these two well-kno...

    Axial extension means that you're increasing the overall length of the spine by reducing the curves of the spine. I like to think of this as reaching the head and tail away from each other 🙂🐒

    Of course, the picture and the reasons aren't this simple, and the reasons to teach yoga and what I teach keep evolving - just like the practice does. But this is how it all started. If you're a yoga teacher or thinking of doing a training, what are your motivations or your passion to teach yoga? What's your 'why'?

    I have a 7 year old daughter who loves yoga. She keeps asking me if we can do yoga together. Kids yoga on youtube is a bit much for me, jumping in and out of poses, and adult yoga can be a bit "boring " for her. If you ever consider doing a mom and child yoga video we would be the first ones to click on that!

    • @yogawithheini
      @yogawithheini Před měsícem

      This is a really good question M! There's no one correct answer or way to do the pose. Either option is good as long as it feels safe for you and you feel that you get something out of the pose. I think it's great to play with different variations as you might get different benefits from them. There's a third option too: to place something under the bent leg heel (if you have the weight mostly on the ball of the foot). I have a video about it here: czcams.com/users/shortswAXJC34C-_U?si=hpdT6BTF6NJotlAW
