For this class you need a 5 foot dowel, a blanket and a door way.
In this class we work more closely with shoulder mobility and external rotation specifically and then use it at the end of class in handstand variations. We also check in with hip mobility and try out a fun squat variation in a door frame. This class was filmed live March 6, 2021.
For this class you will need a dowel and possibly a blanket or bolster.
In this class we continue to explore moves with the dowel to mobilize the upper back and shoulders. The dowel also aids in finding more levity in lunges and balance in warrior III. Moving the dowel closer of further from your center of gravity makes all the difference in the effects of this work so play around and find what feels good to you. My parents had a house guest visiting this week so don't mind her her in the background. This class was filmed live March 2, 2021.
For this class you need a 5 foot dowel (broom, mop handle, something relatively sturdy is helpful) a blanket, and possibly a small hand towel.
In this class you can modify how hard you are working based on how much you push dowel down into the ground or pull the dowel apart. We explore familiar poses like triangle and new poses like 'mopping' and the dowel creates such a helpful lift and support in ustrasana, our peak pose. Take a long rest in savasana and feel how the efforts of the practice might help you rest more fully. This class was filmed live March 1, 2021.
In this class you will need a bolster and long strap and yoga blocks and optional yoga chair with alternatives given.
We start up warming up the spine including the neck seated in a chair. After attention on the neck try some reclining traction to lengthen and relax. We then explore shoulder and neck ranges of motion creatively sprinkled in with the standing poses. All this shoulder and upper back work just may make your handstand feel more accessible.
