Yoga may help those who suffer from asthma. In this sequence I explore some simple exercises that may help you to relax your breathing, open your chest and lungs. It will help you to generally feel better, more relaxed, more open and that in itself will calm everything down.

Do it for a while every day and feel the difference for yourself!

The poses I demonstrate here are:

mountain pose / tadasana

downward facing dog pose / adho mukha svanasana

plank pose

crocodile pose / makarasana

cobra pose / bhujangasana

child pose / balasana

Hi Everyone,

I would really recommend building this little sequence into your daily practice, to tone up after the holidays!!!!! Even starting with just plank and holding that for 5 breaths, than moving into side plank with the top arm up looking at your hand, to work on your balance and strength. If that goes all ok than you can do the final version of lifting the top leg up and holding it in your hand. Most of all have fun working towards that last version. don’t be surprised and laugh when you loose your balance the first few times. Its great to work towards something in a few weeks and suddenly finding yourself able to do it. Great for confidence and a feeling of achievement.

The poses I demonstrate here are:

plank pose

side plank / vasisthasana

Enjoy,

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

childpose / balasana

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.
