We build on Day 1 by adding a little spice and heat to our strength-building journey. We go deeper in standing postures and continue to explore the concept of rooting and finding an inner lift. You will feel powerful.
It constantly amazes me that you can have a totally new experience of a posture you have been exploring for years. That was how the transition from extended side-angle to triangle felt today. It was a whole new world. Thank you Nathan.
And I concur with all the positive reviews above of the inside block placement transition from parsvokonasana to trikonasana! Was making a mental note to take that into my teaching! Thanks, Nathan : )
As I gave mentioned before Nathan I very much appreciate how specific you are in your alignment cues. I have my Introductory Iyengar exam in June and am working hard onto standings. In your lead practice I feel very much supported in this. Happy new year!
Kate I’m glad everyone is enjoying this practice. I have to credit Geeta Iynegar for this way to explore these poses. It gives a unique method for finding the depth of the hip fold in the lateral poses.
I love these first two practices. Dealing with severe hip osteoarthritis and low back pain but I know I need to do more than restorative yoga to strengthen ,and am struggling with full yoga class. 30 minutes seems perfect timing. I hope I can keep up with the rest of the challenge.
Thank you Nathan, another awesome practice! I LOVE your Chair Pose challenge, I've never seen anyone teach that before :) I'm excited to see how we build on all of these poses.
