Hello Patrons!

Is everybody ready to enjoy the summer?

For June I am bringing you Back to the Body -- A Summer Yoga Series :)

This video guides you through a 32min yoga practice + 5min meditation, to be exact-ish, that will fire up your body with the forward alignment of Warrior Namaskar, tons of core exercises + give your body healthy stretches for balanced posture and flexibility.

I still have a bit of an icecream belly, but my abs are starting to show again, finally!

And, I'm not kidding about tons of core exercises. I had to edit it down just a bit, but the original video was 15min of constant core... so this video is probably at least a10min core connection.

Unedited video (~60min) from my iphone includes a few additional sun salutations, core moves, stretches, and crow) will available on Yoga Scenes tier this week.

Enjoy!

Warrior Namaskar invites the warrior one position into our practice with a sun-salutation-style warm up.

Legs Up Urdhva Prasarita Padasana tones the belly and trunk with a sequence of reclined core exercises that play perfectly into an agile practice.

Warrior Lunge Hip Opening continues to strengthen the entire body while securing a foundation for flexibility that allows for a deeper "seat" in Virabhadrasana One.

The arm movements in Warrior Lunge Hip Opening prepare your shoulders and chest for Ustrasana, the backbend from the knees. I share four steps to practice that will help you move in the direction of clasping your heels in Ustrasana (Camel Pose) without straining your back. Stick with the steps and don't push beyond your comfort zone. A little goes a long way! Even if you can't even imagine clasping your heels. Just do the arm movements and it will get clearer.

Resting into reclined Hip Opening gives your body time to adjust with deep flexibility, as you clasp one foot at a time in reclined Lizard; clasp both feet in upside down Butterfly, and rock into Happy Baby.

To complete the practice, it's time to rest and if you'd like to join me for five minutes of sitting, I invite you to sit up and bask in meditation.

I hope you enjoy this class!

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
