Martial arts can be practiced for any reason from combat to meditation and they result in a sense of discipline, confidence and responsibility as well as a deeper understanding of human nature and the Self. Muay Thai (also called the Art of Eight Limbs or Thai boxing) is a stand-up striking art. It evolved from Muay Boran (ancient boxing), the hand-to-hand combat style practiced in Thailand prior to the influence of Western boxing. Since the introduction of equipment and boxing rings, Muay Thai has become a competitive combat sport and is popular with MMA (mixed martial arts) fighters as a striking strategy. This video will demonstrate a basic fight stance and one basic strike for each of the eight “limbs” or basic strikes – punches, elbows, knees and kicks. Practitioners are encouraged to train in an open space with plenty of room to move, and may use either a partner or a mirror for feedback on technique. -NYV0074A

Focus on Inversion 2: World Upside Down!
Full-Video: https://vimeo.com/144896035
Instructor: Trix E. Sleeves
(Intermediate/Advanced Level)
This practice is designed for more advanced yogis who are wanting to take their practice further, who may or may not have had difficulty with and/or fear of inversions in the past. The instructor’s approach is designed to make everyone feel comfortable at their own level, taking a more cautious route through turning everyone’s world upside down. Health benefits of inversions include better digestion, a more free flow of blood around the body, and “resetting” of the organs when needed. If a wall is being used, please practice with about 6-12 inches of space between the wall and your body.
PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT, IF YOU ARE NEW TO YOGA.
In this video you will learn: Bakasana (Crow Pose), Dolphin Pose, Pincha Mayurasana (Feathered Peacock Pose), and Salamba Śīrṣāsana I (Supported Headstand).
