(Beginners & All levels) Here we move into standing poses supporting strength building, focus and balance. Balancing is important for finding our ground, they build focus, core strength and are helpful for developing proper alignment awareness. I feel they are an essential part of a dynamic yoga practice. In this series we explore two basic balancing poses. For strengthening we explore a couple of warrior variations as well as down ward facing dog. Warrior poses offer a lot of the same benefits of balancing poses, while also opening the hips hearts and discovering our sense of power. In downward dog its really important to discover how our unique body fits into this pose (*this is true for any pose, but especially this pose). This pose frequents many modern vinyasa flows and is often done incorrectly. Here we discover the proper way to sink into this powerful pose.
