After observing the new flow class I have a few things to go over.<\/p>\n
When in intense pose\/chair do not straighten legs then move into forward fold. The move is a flowing action of being in chair pose then lower chest to thighs the knees are deeply bent then with the chest on the thighs slowly straighten the legs but keep the chest on the thighs so you may not have the legs all the way straight but work toward that.<\/p>\n
Warrior 1 – hips bones in front of body are forward not at a slant. If needed lift back heel. You can also widen legs but not so wide that feet are not in line with hips<\/p>\n
Warrior 2, Sun Warrior, Side Warrior, Triangle\u00a0\u00a0 back foot should be at 30 degree angle with toes pointing forward at 30 degrees.\u00a0 Most people are keeping the back foot parallel to the back edge of the mat.\u00a0 You can not find the strength of the back leg with the foot at the wrong angle. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Hindi squat—\u00a0\u00a0Hand on the floor the fingers are pointing in the\u00a0direction of the twist so if right hand down the fingers are pointing toward the left and the right elbow\/upper arm is pressing into the right leg.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 Firelog\u00a0\/ Modified half Lotus fold forward leading with the sternum bone\/heart rather than the head.\u00a0 Keep chest\/ cervical spine in line as the fold happens.\u00a0 Long spine, long back no humps.\u00a0 Can round back only if belly is on heel of top foot and sternum bone is on shin of other foot and nose is about 4 inches from floor.\u00a0 Otherwise stay high. \u00a0<\/p>\n
3 Leg Dog.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 shoulders are dipping\u00a0 the line of the shoulders should stay parallel with front edge of mat …. no twisting of the upper body, no bending of elbows.\u00a0 hips stack to open hip \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0Single Leg stretch\u00a0 when legs alternate keep lower leg in alignment ~~ ankle in line with knee and knee in line with shoulder.\u00a0 Don’t torque lower leg. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0Seesaw movement\u00a0 Make sure\u00a0arms are not in “B52 airplane arms”\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Arms are out pretty much from the shoulder.\u00a0 Not winging them back like a high diver going off the high board either.\u00a0 Level and out from shoulders the torso\/back is doing the work not the neck and arms. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0Seesaw with knees lifted\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Most were allowing the knees to flare way out<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 keep knees in.<\/p>\n Twisting lunge\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Arms stack in alignment not the top arm flung way back and toward the hip. Wrist over elbow,\u00a0 elbow over shoulder joint then open the chest to open more not fling arm \/head back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After observing the new flow class I have a few things to go over.
