Ash Barrett Yoga

Uddiyana Bandha Kriya (Abdominal Lock) What’s happening here, anatomically speaking – We exhale fully and then hold the breath out (external breath retention). We then draw the abdominal wall inwards and upwards under the rib cage, creating a hollow abdomen. This creates negative pressure (a vacuum) in the thoracic cavity, which lifts the relaxed diaphragm upwards, drawing the internal organs (stomach, liver, intestines) upwards towards the chest. The abdominal muscles (re**us abdominis and obliques) contract to maintain the lift. It has both physical and psychological benefits 💪🏻🙏🏻 #uddiyanabandha #kriya #morningkriya #stomachvacuum #yogasadhana #yogapractice #premodernyoga #yogi

Urdhva Dhanurasana Through practice, I took this from challenging to therapeutic. I feel that one of the many benefits of the traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa method is that it encourages you to spend time practising yoga asanas you find challenging, helping to develop patience and discipline. To quote modern Ashtanga yoga legend David Swenson, “The practice is the guru.” 🙏🏻 #urdhvadhanurasana #ashtanga #yoga #upwardbowpose #backbend #ashtangavinyasa
