Bolster Work for Backbends

December 8, 2021 Amelia Pudoff

For this class you will need a bolster or pillow and blanket, as well as blocks.

We start out slow, easing into breathing side lying over the bolster. From there we worked on opening up in all the directions, encouraging the spine to move in lots of ways in preparation for moving into backbends. In the standing poses we practice twists to continue to work with the spine. Then we use the bolster to aid in the belly down backbends. This class was filmed live December 8, 2021.

Yoga with a Bolster

August 24, 2021 Amelia Pudoff

For this class you will need a bolster. If you dont have one you can roll up to yoga blankets together and many use masking tape to tape them together for the practice. You will also need yoga blocks and a strap.

For this practice we really slow down and focus on the breathing. The bolster offers lots of feedback all through out the practice. We start with a long reclining warm up, it can feel luxurious spending this extra time laying down and slowly unravel and open up into bigger stretches. From there we warm up the shoulders and wake up the legs in standing poses. We take a series of variations on belly down backbends leading to dhanurasana. This class was filmed live August 23, 2021.

Changing Orientation to Gravity

April 24, 2021 Amelia Pudoff

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! This class was filmed live April 25, 2021.

Resistance Bands: Revolved Triangle Pose and Bow Pose

March 22, 2021 Amelia Pudoff

For this class you will need one long band, two yoga blocks, and a blanket or two.

In this class we utilize the assist of the resistance bands in three different ways, adding awareness to different parts of the body, adding strengthening, and adding support in getting into twists. We add in some neck work to become more aware of where our head is in space and to cirle back to this in the standing poses. We build up to revolved triangle pose as well as work towards bow pose and other backbends. This class was filmed live March 22, 2021.
