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.

This episode will help to stretch out all parts of the feet finding space!

Sun salutes are challenging, but can bring a lot of energy to the body.

Downward dog is not a new pose in our journey, but it forms an integral part of a sun salute sequence so here we go!

Regardless of whether you choose cobra or upward facing dog as your next pose to do in your sun salute, but postures offer energy and strength to the sequence.

The choice between lowering all or half way is a personal decision and one that can be based on how you are feeling right now!

Plank has many benefits for the body including strengthening the arms, shoulders, and wrists.

Lunge or low lunge has many benefits for the body and mind, in addition to being an integral part of a sun salute.
