Modifications and progressions are an amazing way to get your body and central nervous system used to a pose, so that when you are ready, you can get into it more easily! It will also decrease the time that you need in order to achieve the pose! Of course it’s not about getting into a certain pose, it’s about what you learn along the way no matter your stage in the practice, whether you’re just beginning or trying to advance, learn all the modifications and progressions to the foundational poses of yoga in our e-books (link in bio)! Make sure you share this with someone that could benefit and save it for your personal practice! #Yogateacher @robinmartinyoga ・・・ Shoulder, hamstring, hip flexor and heart opener. ♥️ The bound splits (eka pada raja kapotasana in hanumanasana) is a pretty intense pose. I don’t go into this one often, and when I do, I’ve done lots of prep poses to make sure my body is ready. Even if you have no desire to ever bind your foot in the splits, the prep to move into that pose is useful nonetheless. The block I’m using is placed under my hamstring right at the insertion at the sit bone (ischial tuberosity). With this support, I can ease into a deeper stretch on my breath. The strap assists in opening my shoulders. Reaching over the top with both arms to grab the foot means a deep internal shoulder rotation. It’s easier to control the depth of the stretch with the strap. And finally, I have a pad under my back knee. Padding is great to support knee sensitivity. Each modification allows me to move

BALANCE is the key ! Flexibility is great but so are mobility and strength (plus they are way more fun for me ) that’s why my practice is a mix of both, to give my body everything it needs! Here you have the SAME FLOW, once done in a “flexibility key” and once in a “strength/control key”. Playing around with my flows like this really helps me to understand how my body works and how these movements are different

From balancing poses to backbends, you need strong arms to perform yoga advanced poses but also to stay strong and functional in daily life. The best part is that you don't have to hit the gym to get strong and toned arms, Yoga has your back. Just keep practicing these poses frequently to get your arms stronger. 1. Ardha Pincha Mayurasana It is highly effective in strengthening the legs and the arms and also gives the hamstrings, shoulders, and calves a good stretch. 2. Urdha Mukha Svanasana As you can see the arms and the wrists are strengthened as the bodyweight rests on them. This asana also strengthens the back, thus relieving stress from your lower back. 3. Chaturanga Dandasana Your core muscles are stretched and toned. Also, it builds your muscles in back, shoulders, and arms. 4. Vasisthasana It not only stretches the wrists but makes them strong too while giving a good stretch in your hamstrings. Give these poses a try and prepare those arms... a treat for your core is coming up on our YouTube channel.

Silence here in Ubud is different from back home in Germany. Even when there’s no sound caused by humans, there’s always a wonderful background noise made by nature.

Achte mal darauf, wie viele verschiedene Geräusche du alleine in dem Video hören kannst (abgesehen von dem meiner Matte ).

They will thank you! #yogateacher @catvaladezyoga ・・・ Hey guys! It’s been a long, long time since I have posted about #chaturanga, and I thought it would be helpful to show you a couple tricks I have picked up along the way of teaching this pose in classes and workshops over the years, in a way that will hopefully make it more accessible. This is from a side view, so i’m leaving out the component of alignment that shows how the elbows are drawn inward. That is not the focus here today! And so, this breakdown is not exhaustive for the #overachieversguidetoyoga. . First off, avoid the top image happening. This pose is hard, so many newer students tend to “swoop” through to get past it when they take a Vinyasa. I also think people do that because they have seen some teachers make it look as though that’s what they’re doing. Hips should remain level with the rest of the body, avoiding the chest and shoulder heads to dive toward the floor like so. Again, this is just one way pose can go wrong. What isn’t OK about the shoulders dipping so low, is that it puts unnecessary strain on the smaller rotator cuff muscles and this is bad news over time. . From plank, you want to maintain that flat plank shape from the heels through the shoulders as you lower forward and down toward the floor. Knees down Chaturanga is absolutely perfect, but if you’re working on this at home and you want to get a feel for the pose with knees up, the exercise with the blocks underneath the size will make a huge difference! . If you have built up some amount of strength for this pose already, using blocks set up in front of the fingertips (and blocks have 3 different heights so use what works for your limb length), is a great way to train you to avoid dipping the shoulders. You can practice this “training wheel” variation with knees down as well, until you feel like you understand the pose better
