Hi everyone, If you fancy doing handstand, what you may used to do naturally as a child, without fear, this is a great pose. It gives you great energy, really strengthens the upper body, and warms you up beautifully for any work afterwards. If there is some apprehension or fear and you do go for it, it’ll give you a good buzz, remember its good to sometimes challenge yourself a bit, go beyond your comfort zone.

the poses I demonstrate here are:

plank pose

downward facing dog pose / adho mukha svanasana

half handstand

This yoga routine is to help you strengthen the mid and upper back. I use 3 variations of the locust pose / salabhasana for this sequence (I will upload a photo in the poses section soon!). Important is, when you follow this video and my instructions, that you focus on the muscles you’re looking to strengthen, feel them. Also make sure you’re not contracting more muscles than necessary…, like your face, keep smiling and have fun.

Hi everyone,

if you have trouble sleeping try these few yoga exercises in the evening before going to bed. They help wind you down and promote sleep. There is more you can do for insomnia than yoga, no television, newspapers even reading for at least 2 hours before you go to bed, a warm shower or bath is helpful. Basically giving your body and mind time to unwind before getting into bed.

The poses I demonstrate in this sequence are:

supported downward facing dog / adho mukha svanasana

legs up against the wall pose / vipariti karani

child pose / balasana

I hope this helps,

Esther
