Pranayama: Dirgha (long\/complete breath)\u00a0 Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril\/channel clearing breath)\u00a0 Anuloma Viloma (Nadi Shodhana with holding the breath in at top of inhale for count of 3).\u00a0 Observing the quality of the breath and just allowing the body to receive the breath.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Toe Stretch with arm movements as well at top of foot stretch.\u00a0 Noticing how these relate to our asana postures.\u00a0 Toe stretch\u00a0 we see in Plank, Raised Runner, Balance and even just our normal walking gate pattern.\u00a0 Top of foot stretch will stretch\u00a0the whole top of the foot. The whole top of the foot should be able to come to the floor. This is needed for many postures a few are: Vajrasana, Virasana, Camel, Cobra, Cat, reverse plank, triangle, headstand, handstand, shoulderstand etc…..<\/p>\n
Calf stretch with a little look at arm work similar to what we do in TriYoga with Cat Bows.\u00a0 Cat rolls with fire hydrant hip circles.\u00a0 Reverse table work adding in the harder work of cradle with the legs if this was what your body called for tonight, this adds more work to the hamstring of the opposite leg (as many of you discovered). \ud83d\ude2e<\/p>\n
Abdominal work of Navasana (Boat) and Ardha Navasana.\u00a0 The abdominal bent knee twist work not allowing the knees to come to the floor but sustaining the knees or feet a few inches from the floor…\u00a0 you will find your abdominal doing this\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Runner with a twist added could advance the move to lifting the back knee to raised runner twist.\u00a0 Swan\/Pigeon moving from Downward dog and back to swan, swan rolls, TV watching swan. Hip openers moving foot to mid-line from runner opening the hips deeply while smiling freely.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n
Standing strength:\u00a0 Wide leg forward fold, Skanda, triangle, side angle, sun warrior, side angle, warrior 2, star back to wide leg forward fold.\u00a0 good work moving with the breath.<\/p>\n
Twists, cobbler, Heart open forward folds.\u00a0 aromatherapy, few settling movements before Savasana.<\/p>\n
