Tree Pose Flow

For this class you will need a blanket and blocks.

In this class we start out with relining warm ups and then move into some challenging dynamic movements. Working on coming in and out of lunges helps build hip strength as well as all the small supporting muscles that help with balance. We end with shoulder work moving between warrior 2, reverse warrior and side angle poses. This class was filmed live November 20, 2021.

Strength Building for Tree Pose Warrior III Flow

For this class we star out using a chair against the wall for stability and a block. You also may want a blanket for a pillow and then padding later on.

Lay down and take some deep breaths. From there we start to build up warmth in the body in some reclining stretches. We find all the muscles around the hips, think outer hips, adductors, hamstrings! From there we stand and continue on with out warm ups focusing on the shoulders. We put all this good work together in a balance challenge flow, moving from tree pose to warrior III to warrior 1 to standing splits. Feel free to pick and choose along the way with these flowing sequences and take breaks when you need them. From there we slow down with supportive bridge pose and a long rest.

Changing Orientation to Gravity

For this class you will need wall space, yoga blocks, and a blanket.

In this class we work on balancing the hips, improving mobility while side-lying and practice familiar shoulder work while standing. This same shoulder work takes on a whole new meaning while lying face down. Try out this challenging shoulder sequence and see how upright you feel as we practice tree pose and dancers pose!

Tall as a Tree

This class is strengthening! You will need yoga blocks, a blanket and some wall space to help with balance.

We continue our work today in getting taller and balancing front and back body. We then use this support in balancing poses like tree pose and dancers pose. This class was filmed life April 6, 2021.

Resistance Bands: Upavistha Konasana and Dandasana

For this class you will need a 3-4 foot long resistance band with loops tied into each end. You can use two bands doubled up if you want to increase to load, works well if you have lighter bands since we are working mostly with the legs in this sequence. You will also need a blanket or something to sit on.

In this class we enjoy the support of the resistance bands in helping us to upright out spine while seated. We also work closely with the feet and ankles while laying down and then continue the work in the standing poses. It just may help you to feel more balanced in tree pose.
