YOGA BASICS PART 2: THE STANDING SERIES
this month, we’re covering the basics of our Standing Series: strengtheners, balancing postures, and stretches.
they’re the asanas that provide weight-bearing exercise needed for bone health, good posture, and aging gracefully.
they’re also key to developing balance and coordination skills…and they prepare the body for deeper stretch.
when you really get into ’em, they’ll give you a workout, too…building mobility and endurance, while working up a sweat.
throughout may, within our usual vinyasa flow, we’ll do an alignment check on one of our “Top 25” standing postures. we won’t hold it *forever* or work it so deeply you can’t walk the next day, but we’ll refine the details to help you build from the ground up.
