May 4, 2024 Healing Yoga * Rise and Shine

Alena Stankova

May 11 2024 • Duration: 1 Hour, 8 Minutes

This Healing Yoga class is a rejuvenating journey entirely conducted from the comfort of the floor (or your bed), ideal for kickstarting your morning routine with vitality and ease.

We begin by reminding about two foundational principles: "Where your mind goes, energy follows and flows," emphasizing the importance of setting intentions to guide our practice, and "Water Up, Fire Down," guiding us to cultivate a harmonious balance of energy within.

Throughout this session, we seamlessly integrate a variety of floor-based exercises designed to enhance your overall well-being:

1. Improved Circulation: Dynamic movements like legs shaking and toe tapping stimulate blood flow, promoting circulation and nourishment throughout the body.

2. Enhanced Flexibility and Mobility: Practices such as ankle and wrist rotations and lower back bouncing gently stretch and elongate muscles, improving flexibility and range of motion.

3. Core Strength and Stability: Abdominal exercises, along with poses like knee to chest pull and chin to knees pull, strengthen the core muscles, providing stability and support for the spine.

4. Relief from Tension and Discomfort: Movements like lying down side to side knees to the floor and sciatica exercises help release tension and alleviate discomfort in the lower back and hips.

5. Alignment and Postural Correction: Holding poses such as knee to chest pull encourages postural alignment, reducing strain on the spine and improving posture.

6. Mind-Body Connection and Stress Relief: Engaging in mindful movements fosters a deeper connection with the breath and body, promoting relaxation and reducing stress.

Join us for this transformative Healing Yoga class and start your day on the right note.
