Finding a quiet moment during a stressful time can be challenging. What I love about the practice of yoga is that it nourishes us and brings us back to a still point, free of resistance and search or struggle. In Yapana® yoga we use poses called “BEing” poses to restore and support the parasympathetic response – these involve strategic placement of yoga props to meet your body’s needs (alignment, safety, flexibility) and we make sure to include a nice long relaxation so you can really let go of all the layers that cover up this happy to BE place.
Do you feel your yoga practice is balanced? Do you lead a life in balance?
I am leading a great workshop in Montreal on restorative yoga therapy; whether you are teacher or student, learning these practices will deepen your practice. Join me !
Legs Up The Wall: Legs up the Wall is a pose that is what it says it is! It is a really beneficial and basic restorative yoga pose. I am showing it using the ThreeMinuteEggs®
Now, there are many many ways to do legs up the wall pose and it may not be suitable to do it this way. I happened to be travelling with them and I enjoyed the support.
Keep in mind that you should be able to relax into it for 10-15 minutes in the variation that does suit you, breathing calmly.
