Avery Cundill leads a yoga session focused on strengthening the lower abdominal muscles, which also benefits the back and aids in stabilization and balance. The exercise can also tone the inner thighs. Avery emphasizes the im...

Single leg lifts are a great and effective way to bring awareness attention and strength to the low belly space. When we work with these lifts, it is important to pay attention to your low back and if the work is bringing irr...

Today I guide listeners through a yoga session focused on strengthening the lower abdominal muscles, or “low abs.” I explain the importance of targeting different core muscle groups for overall stability, mobility, and spinal...

As we work into the deep muscles of the core, we will add in a twist for good measure to our work today. The twist will allow us to not only strengthen these muscle groups but also to cleanse and detox the internal body as w...

This deep shoulder opener sometimes is enlightening, in that it can really bring to light shoulder tension that may be happening in the body. Using the strap is helpful as it allows you to adjust where you are in the pose. Se...

Our journey has included using props in our practice and today we will change that prop to a strap. Using a strap to help open the shoulders can be an effective way to go a bit deeper into this often very tight part of the b...

Core work is always energizing and invigorating, even though it doesn’t always feel like it in the moment. Core work is a component of total body wellness as it can prevent injury and pain. See Privacy Policy at https://art19...

Today we will continue on with yoga strength training, and this time we will work into the chest area with a block supported chest press. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https:...

Our work today is going to be fun I promise, and at the same time, it will challenge the body in a way that I don't think we have done before!

Balancing eagle pose, although not a pose that has a block as a component, will still benefit from recreating that leg engagement….but I am jumping ahead… See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy...

Adding the block to the mix in tadasana requires us to engage the muscles of the legs in a slightly different way…a way that perhaps encourages tone into the thighs, knees and pelvis. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/p...

Today, we are going to explore Downward facing Dog with a bonus prop to engage the thigh muscles and core! This is a fun one in that there a few different things to pay attention to that we don’t necessarily have to think abo...

Today's episode will include using a block between the thighs for a deeper engagement of muscles while we work through cats and cows. Adjusting these poses slightly will help to deepen and perhaps even change how the pose fe...

Adding the prop provides an extra layer to the pose in that it will engage the muscles of the thighs. This engagement will help to engage the muscles of the core beginning with the pelvis, then up through the low belly and to the naval space.

Our work today will be more release work than stretch but it can be very helpful to begin releasing some of that calf tension we may be dealing with.

The quadricep muscles can be very tight in many of us so today's episode is designed to release and soften into this part of the body.

The work we will do today may give new meaning to the word “tight ass!”

Many areas of the back body hold tension as a result of our everyday lives and how we move and behave, including the rib area.

So as we move into our work today, focus on the breath and exhale into the tennis balls allowing the muscles to release.

Using tennis balls as props to help release tension is a very effective way to release unnecessary tension in various muscle groups in the body.

Thunderbolt or vajrasana stretches strengthens and lengthens the feet.

When we toe sit, our feet are encouraged to stretch and our toes are encouraged to find space.

Today we are going to work with an actions that is one of my personal favourites - ball rolling under the feet!

Our “foot” action today is one that can almost be done anywhere and there really is no specific position you have to be in to do it - all you need is for your feet to be free.
