15min | Unwind from Daily Stress - Yoga postures for digestion, weight loss, and back pain (Patreon)

Hi everyone!

This video is just under 15minutes, guiding you through a series of five yoga postures (including Shavasana) that have amazing therapeutic benefits. These are postures you can practice while seated and lying on the ground.

Here's a breakdown of the session!

• Parivrtta Janu Sirsasana, or "Revolved Head to Knee Pose"

5-10min

I demonstrate what the name of this posture means, and I break down the steps for how you progress into the spiral, or revolution, experienced in this pose. It will help you breakthrough the limitations of flexibility, while providing an anchor of strength. Benefits include improved circulation through spinal column while toning liver, spleen, and kidneys-- aids in healthy digestion, weight loss, and back pain.

• Apanasana, or "Knees to Chest Pose"

1min

This simple pose helps to ground the energy ignited during the first pose, while compressing the ascending, transverse, and descending colon.

• Setu Bandhasana, or "Shoulder Supported Bridge Pose"

1min

This posture stretches your chest and hips while strengthening the supporting muscles of your spine and back. It helps to create calmness and regulates metabolism while releasing excess tension in the digestive system.  In this video, I guide you through the active version, but as you know from previous videos you can practice this pose with a block under you sacrum for a more restful experience.

• Supta Baddha Konasana, or "Reclined Cobbler's Pose"

1min

This is a very relaxing posture, preparing for final Shavasana. It allows the inner hips to relax and unwind.

• Shavasana, or "Final Resting Pose"

1-2min

In this video I demonstrate a gentle massage of the sternum which is the long bone located in the center of the chest/ribs. Allowing your fingers to melt into the fascia on top of the sternum, slowly from the lower base to the top (just under the collar bones). After a couple of times, allow your gentle massage to open under the collar bones and release your arms to the ground on either side or you.

Ahhh ~

I hope you enjoy this session!

To Health, Love and Lifestyle--

Namaste
