Reverse Triangle Pose

Hi Everyone,
When you do the Triangle pose, do the reversed Triangle pose right after that for a while, just to feel how it is. It prepares the body for deeper twists like side crow pose.
It’s a great pose, great twist and a great opening in the spine!

Seated forward bend / Paschimottasana

Here seated forward bend explained in a video. There is so much to say about this pose, it stretches the back of the body, all the energy channels along that side. As a result it calms the body, prepares you for meditation, calms the nerves…
As well it works therapeutic for high blood pressure, Insomnia and sinusitis.

I would really recommend practicing this pose in every yoga session towards the end of your practice,…

Warrior I / Virabhadrasana I

Hi Everyone,

This version of Warrior I is great to start with, it really works on the placement of the lower body, legs and hips which are the foundation for a long and free lower back! Try out getting into it this way and let me know what you think!

Reversed bound side angle pose / Baddha parivrtta parsvakonasana

Hi everyone,

So here the final breakdown, remember to work with a belt if you can’t reach the hands together, and to grasp the top wrist if you can easily reach!  It took me a week to practice this everyday for me to bind! Let’s see how long it will take you… Let it happen naturally that the spine opens, don’t push it!

Enjoy,

Esther


Cow face pose / Gomukhasana

Hey everyone,

Here one of my favorite poses, cow face pose! For me it works restorative, my hips, my shoulders and lower back opens, when I bend forward in it. It also tells me when my hip are tight and need attention… Also good for the knees!

Try it out and let me know if you can see a cow face in me doing the pose :)

One leg wheel pose / Eka pada urdhva dhanurasana

Hi everyone,

If wheel pose becomes steady and comfortable, and you know when you can stay in it for at least 10 breaths and walk the legs in a little and rock from hands to feet comfortably. Than it is time to experiment with the one leg version. Bring your knee to your chest and stretch that leg out :). Great feeling!

Enjoy,
