I did really like the sequence, but I think it could be slowed down by a lot. I felt like the transitions were way too quick for me, and I would have benefited much more if we had gone through 1-2 less sequences and been in the poses for longer.
Hi Emily, thanks for sharing your experience. As this is a mixed pace practice, my understanding is that Ali created this sequence to both connect with that excess vata energy and well as guide us into a grounding space.
If you would like to try out some of Ali's slower paced classes, may I suggest looking at the different evening practices in Season 1? Also, feel free to slow down the video the next time you give this practice a try (the gear icon on the bottom corner of the vid, I like 0.75x when I want to move deliberately in certain sections of a practice or give myself more time in a pose). I hope this helps!
Emily I think Ashley-Marie Olgado has the right advice for you. The evening practices in Season 1 are slower and how great is it that Yoga Anytime has the technology to slow a sequence down if we want?! Happy practicing!
Thank you so much! I love your style. I have a question-in Bharadvajasana's twist-is your entire seat grounded or does it matter if your opposite seat pops up a bit?
Zoe you might want to try a folded blanket under you if your seat is feeling uneven. It’s okay if the hip is up slightly but it might put strain on the knee If you’re trying to get it down so best fo try using the blanket. Let me know how that feels. Namaste!
