This is a recorded private session with Gio who
I interviewed in Podcast #2. This is a Level 2 class pls do what you can and modify if necessary. Thank you Victoria for letting
me know that she is going to be out of town for the holidays and offering me a great theme for my
second class.
PLS LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS & COMMENTS. Soon I will be getting a new mic to make it even better for you.
INTENTION SETTING: Take a moment to check in with yourself to
appreciate your own heart and life even with the challenges that may
show up for you. In the times we are challenged we tend to forget the
blessings we have a good practice is to step back breathe and then
remember what you are being offered as a lesson that can offer you a
deeper experience of your practice on and off the mat.
Anusara Yoga - the style I am teaching and using the Universal Principles of Alignment
I mention the Psoas check it out to see how connected it is ...
Note:
1. in Handstand - pls make sure your arms are straight &
strong when I say heart soft this means while you keep your arms strong
let the upper back move towards the floor then lift your chin off the
chest. I mention this when Gio does handstand and the 3rd try he gets
up.
2. I mention this muscle in the thigh stretch pls click to learn more of this hip flexor Psoas
