Added 2022-07-07 14:01:03 +0000 UTCHello yogis! Have you tried this yet? This video just reached 100k views on YouTube! This is one of my personal favorites because I love backbends and hip openers. In this class, we work towards a peak pose where we do both. :)

๐ Recommended for intermediate students and strong beginners who are comfortable with the vinyasa sequence and basic poses, this total body Vinyasa Flow yoga will include options and modifications that can be adjusted based on your desired intensity level.
We start in Mountain Pose and warm up with a standing flowing sequence. In this yoga video, we flow through modified sun salutations (knee-down chaturanga, cobra waves); but feel free to do your own variation anytime. There's a little bit of everything! We do our standing sequence, balance poses, backbends, forward folds, twists, side stretches and lots of hip opening. Our peak pose is King Pigeon Pose (Eka Pada Raja Kapotasana). It is a deep backbend and hip opener and we prepare for it throughout the class. All the elements we explore during class will be put together in that culminating peak pose. Don't worry, I offer modifications and you can choose the version of the pose that is right for you. We slow down with our seated sequence (Pigeon series, Double Pigeon, Side Stretch, Cowface Legs with Twist) and a Supine Side stretch. There are approximately 5 minutes of Savasana music at the end then we close the practice together.
๐ Notes: If your knees feel sensitive, make sure you pad your knees with a blanket or towel. Use it when we are in our low lunge poses and pigeon.
Hope you try this one if you haven't already. Enjoy your practice!
With gratitude,
Maris
