Balancing in Standing and Supine Poses—Iyengar Yoga
In this group of postures, we focus on standing and supine balancing poses. Balancing always requires us to concentrate our attention both physically and mentally. Practicing balancing postures in the morning is a revealing way to gauge your mental state.
We bring clarity and stability to our actions and lives by addressing what is needed in the moment.
Balancing also exposes our weaker side or the areas we tend to favor. Understanding this allows us to better prepare to strengthen those weaker areas.
Enjoy your discovery and experience as you move both outward and inward.

15 Mins Iyengar Yoga to Activate and Energize

This super active practice is short and sweet. We activate the arms and shoulders while lifting up through Tadasana legs for full-body expression in an inversion. This is followed by connecting the feet to the ground in a forward bend and then twisting. Next, we will activate the back, preparing for a backbend in an inversion. This is followed by another twist and then another inversion: Sirsas...

Groin Tension Release--Iyengar Yoga with Kathy Cook

There are multiple ways to release tension in the groin area. First, it is important to understand that there is a front and back groin. When the space in the groin is tight, it pulls the lower back towards the pelvis. In this case, the groin where the leg connects to the pelvis is overly tight and gripping. In the various positions in this session, I address the actions needed to activate the ...

    • @DesaYogiIyengarYoga
      @DesaYogiIyengarYoga Před 2 dny

      Dear Alex, We recommend students have one year of practice before beginning Pranayama. This is to enable the body to be flexible enough to allow the breath to move, the spine to lengthen and, have access to the ribcage, intercostal muscles, pelvic opening etc. If the body isn’t stable and if there is not, the capability for the breath to move, then nothing is happening. Many of our classes begin with postures to prepare students in these areas to begin, their practice with great access to these areas. Inversions are also used to prepare the mind. The body must be prepared, to receive the breath but the mind must be reflective to move inward. In today’s world that is more and more important being more difficult to access. Thanks, great question. 🌟

    Hello. The straddle facing the wall was interesting. I don't have a wall wide enough, so I did it facing my sofa. That was intense probably because I don't practice this pose often.

    • @DesaYogiIyengarYoga
      @DesaYogiIyengarYoga Před 2 dny

      Hi Emmanuelle, Great innovation. Just be careful to do what your body is capable of. If the leg width is too much bring the legs closer. You can turn around with your back to the couch, sit on some height, and have a chair or small bench or table in front of you, to hold and lift the trunk upward going forward any amount or staying upright. If too, much stay upright, placing two straps, one around each foot. Use that connection with the arms and upper trunk to lift upward while descending the thighs downward. Direction of the shoulders down. Take your time and be patient with yourself. Take time to practice more Baddha Konasana to lengthen the inner groin.

    Thank you so much Kathy. I’m so thankful for all the expertise you share. If you have the time I’d be grateful for an alternative to the pose where the legs are wide sitting facing the walls and you lean forwards then twist etc. I can barely open my legs in this position even with lots of blankets and there is no movement forwards let alone twisting ( i did my best using a belt but it was not really working well). Perhaps I need to work on another area of my body first to achieve this pose at a later stage? With thanks in advance for your time. 🙏🏽

    • @DesaYogiIyengarYoga
      @DesaYogiIyengarYoga Před 2 dny

      Hi Camilla, Ok, sit in Baddha Konasana, soles of the feet together. Start practicing with the back at the wall for support seated on height. You can also face the wall and lean in a bit as you can gain more access to the inner groin. Also with the back to the wall, sit with legs spread out (Upa Vista Konasana like the pose you describe) and have a belt around each foot to hold at the ball of the foot. Use the belt to connect the arms to the shoulders and shoulder blades, lining up the shoulders, trunk, and hips. Make sure to adjust the buttock and roll the inner thigh inward to have the best access to gain access to lift the spine. As you have more mobility you can lean forward slightly. To help with inner leg mobility, practice Utthita Trikonasana, Virabhadrasana 2, and Utthita Parsvokanasana. The standing postures are the easiest to access lengthening movement to begin with. Have you done any of my courses? The Foundation Course will help to bring more access, to learning systematically. All my best and thanks for joining me. 💜
