This video shows 15m of work condensed to 90s. It shows the progression from deep forward folding to a strong and lifted Navasana (boat pose).

Follow along and notice that I recommend we get our hands past our feet before we start leveraging and gripping the toes. This arrangement ensures that our abs and hip flexors are bringing the torso forward rather than over stretching the low back.

Here are a few tips for Tree Pose, Standing Half Bound Lotus and Flying Pigeon!

These poses are a fantastic progression even if you don’t like arm balances in the end. Just standing on one foot and practicing different variations is a great way to improve your posture and overall leg strength.

Give it a try and let me know what you think in the comments below 🧘🏽‍♀️🤩

This is a difficult, but important drill for yoga-asana students!

Try this with and without blocks. If it’s hard try leaning against a wall or while sitting in a chair.

This drill exposes weakness or issues w/ the following:

• Glut-medius
• Inner thigh adductors
• foot, ankle, lower leg
• piriformis
• proprioception
• musculoskeletal imbalances

Yeah!! I’m part of the Love Story Yoga family and I want you to join me there 🤩
Tu/4:15p, Sa/4:30p.

What to expect:
• Great community of students
• Mat rentals
• Heated, hot studio
• Excellent sound system
• Towels and showers
• Super friendly staff 🧘🏽‍♀️

See you SOON!

Remember: Your back already bends!
So, one is either working to open the chest and deeply contract upper back muscles, or one is working to open the front hip.

This exercise isolates one’s weakness. If you can’t put fingers on the floor your hips are limited. If you can’t float your ribs back your chest and abs are limiting your range.
