Personal Practice - Full Body Yoga with Back Body Focus at Wall [30min video]

This is mostly a silent practice, but you can hear in the background that I started by following the Lesson Three routine from Deeper Studies. However, Lesson Three is Handstands... so I re-routed into my own routine.

This routine uses the Yoga Wheel against the wall for standing squats, which give the spine many opportunities to release tension. I especially love the way the lumbar and cervical columns of the spine gain energy from this. Squats just make more sense when I can feel the direct power in my back!

I also use a variety of massage balls to release muscles.

Standing at the wall, the massage ball targets the channels between the shoulder blade and the spine.

When you see the arms rotating like a barbie doll, that has the massage ball on the back of the upper arm, basically on the scapula, to release the rotator cuff muscles.

Seated at the wall, the massage ball targets the right inner thigh.

I can get into more detail with the massage releases.

All in all, a good caveat away from handstands until the strength and fluidity of my body returns!
