Yoga Tips to Get Your Revolve Triangle On

I was wondering what to to write or to say that will be inspiring and informative… I figured we would have tons of time to do that…

In the mean time, I want to share some cool yoga tips on how to enhance your yoga poses and make sure you have proper energetic and physical alignment to keep you safe and pain free for years to come.

Over the years and after many teaching hours  I wished more time to break down and practice one pose or more hands to get to everyone… but for now I want to bring different mini videos on “how to” get in certain poses risk and pain free.

My goal is to offer tips on how to check your own alignment in many poses and offer cues to avoid common mistakes so your personal practice soars to the next level.

Let’s start with Revolved Triangle also known as Parivrtta Trikonasana.  I have created a video for it to make it easy for you to follow and avoid common mistakes.

Love,

Lisa’s Asana 101

Lisa Ware | Downward Facing Dog | Sanskrit: Adho Mukha Svanasana

One of my most have poses. A resting point. A working point. A breathing point. A place to begin and a place to end. Ahhhhhh. Down Dog.

Begin in child’s pose, Balasana, the pose of wisdom.  Rest forehead on the earth. Sink tailbone down toward ground. Bring kees as wide as they need to be to relax the belly.

Breathe. Stay 5-15 breaths.

Extend arms long out in front, elbows off the mat. Bring middle fingers to twelve O’ Clock and press thumb and index finger into the ground.

Bring feet sitting bone distance apart.

Inhale and lift tailbone up toward the sky with soft knees, strong arms.

Exhale and settle heels down toward the earth. Stay for 5-15 breaths.

To begin a simple Vinyasa Flow:

Inhale into Down Dog

Exhale into Child’s Pose Repeat 5 cycles. Then rest in either pose, whichever asana your body calls you to stay in.

End your practice with a few other asanas that you may choose.

Rest in Savasana on your back for at least 1 minute.

Utilizing these tools,  start or end your day with breath.

Namaste.
