Naked Prenatal Yoga 6: Spinning Baby (Inversions for Pregnancy Discomfort)

(All Levels: Asana for pregnant women)
Getting into an upside down position can help a breech, an oblique (diagonal lie), or posterior baby reposition themselves into the head-down orientation for birth. During a forward-leaning inversion, the uterus briefly hangs by the cervical ligaments; returning to an up-right position relaxes the ligaments. Babies that are not in a head-down anterior position OR malpositioning of the uterus often put pressure on pelvic nerves, causing pain in the back, groin, and legs. Notice wrist options. These asanas also help release lower back and hips which, due to the additional weight of the pregnant belly, often experience discomfort.

In this practice, you will learn: (Cat Cow Pose), (Cat Cow w/ Infinity Circle Hips), Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Dog Pose), Variation on Adho Mukha Svanasana (Three-Legged, Open-Hipped Downward Dog Pose), (Dolphin Pose), (Three-Legged, Closed-Hip Dolphin Pose), Setu Bandha (Bridge Pose) w/ variations.

Naked Office Yoga 6: For Your Head and Neck

(Level: Basic) Office Yoga for your head and neck directly addresses the chronic tension that creeps into your life as an office worker. Moving your neck through a complete range of motion is a great way to relax — it’s so natural you probably do it already — but the neck’s flexibility is also is vulnerability, which is why guided instruction can be so beneficial, particularly if your neck is already sore or tight. In this sequence, you will also explore key locations in the head where tension is stored: the jaw, tongue and eyes. These practices may seem silly or too small to matter; it is precisely that tension of the mind which this practice can also begin to soften.

Releasing Fun 1 (Naked Yoga School Video)

(LEVEL: Beginners) The series is intended to present the practitioner with an opportunity to focus on whimsy and explore whether or notwhimsy may be the best medicine. Somewhere along the lines yoga in the US has taken a funny turn whereby it has decided to compete with bootcamps and the trumped of drama of reality weight loss shows and we now find ourselves packed into classes with toes in our faces and hard bodied actresses telling us we are not disciplined enough, even though we have worked the past seven days straight, and still don’t have enough money to get a tooth filled. Thus in a world of pure stress the antidote may be non judgemental play, and play you will in sun salutations based on the Sivananda series, triangle pose and some core strengtheners followed by a small introduction to the practice of Yin yoga, where the focus is on loosening up the connective tissues.

Breath of Funny (Naked Yoga School Video)

(LEVEL: Beginners) Luckily nobody slipped me any ritalin between shoots. Having had the opportunity to teach children yoga in an after school programme it was shocking to see how many adults simply saw the goal of the class as to DISCIPLINE the children. Looking at the sad sack adults on the street and wondering what had become of the bright spirits they were decades ago, I realized we get on the wrong track at a pretty young age. This series is intended to undo all the damage caused to you starting from elementary school right through your present desk job. Seriously power point????

We begin with some fun vinyasa flow sun salutations, play a bit with eagle pose for all levels and then cap it off with a focus on the lower back with a little bit of yin yoga by exploring seal and snail pose.

Organs of Action: The Anus (Naked Yoga School Video)

(Level: Intermediate) The yoga tradition defines five organs of action, known as Karmendriyas in Sanskrit. The Anus is the organ of elimination; through it we let go of what is no longer needed. This lesson will focus on the back half of the pelvic floor and the surrounding skeletal landmarks as foundations for your awareness of the physical organ, as well as the aspects of consciousness that underlie action. Starting with self-massage and a physical exploration of the tail bone (coccyx) and sit bones (ischial tuberosities), the practice continues with an application of the pelvic floor in select asana, and concludes with a guided relaxation and an invitation to explore the subtle nature behind this organ of action.

Asana presented in this teacher-and-student video include: Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Facing Dog Pose), Ardha Uttanasana (Half Standing Forward Bend), and Uttanasana (Standing Forward Bend).
