Naked Prenatal Yoga 9: Connecting with Mother Earth (Naked Yoga School)

(All Levels) Our feet bear the physical and psychological weight of our daily demands. They connect us to the earth and give us the opportunity for movement. Feet are both very personal, while they lead us to others. Many injuries in the ankles, knees, hips, back and neck originate from unconscious use of the feet. Additionally, because of the interconnectedness of the feet muscles with those of the pelvic floor, incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and bladder problems often stem improper foot use. As a pregnant woman, foot/inner arch consciousness becomes an essential practice to help properly tone the pelvic floor. Toe, Feet, and Ankle exercises can also reduce swelling. Always use a wall or chair if free-balancing feels intimidating or inappropriate.

In this practice, you will learn: Yoga Nidra Ankle Roll, Excruciating/Exhilarating Toe Pose, Tadasana (Mountain Pose), Urdhva Mukha Svanasana (Tree Pose), Nataranjasana, (Dancer Pose).

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).

Naked Office Yoga 4: For Your Lower Torso (Naked Yoga School Video)

(Level: Basic) Office Yoga for your lower torso puts you in touch with your hips, buttocks, belly and lower back. These are the foundations of any seated posture so you don’t want to ignore this vital region of the body, yet many of us do take this area of the body for granted. The results may sound familiar: low back pain, sore hips, and numbness in the buttocks. But perhaps even more detrimental are the digestive and eliminative disorders that can arise when we don’t liberate the lower torso: ulcers, incontinence, diarrhea, constipation, hemorrhoids. If that’s not enough to get your hips swinging and your belly churning (in a good way), then you might be compelled by yet another benefit of this practice: improved sexual vitality.

Naked Prenatal Yoga 1: The Upper and Lower Bodies (Asana for pregnant women)

(All Levels) We tend to disassociate our upper bodies from our lower bodies because of taken-for-granted improper ergonomics and cultural habits, like chairs, cement, wearing shoes, incorrectly carrying weight or reaching for something. When we begin to integrate the proper functioning of the lower body in relation to the upper body, we can move with more efficiency, breath access, and better digestion and circulation. This becomes particularly crucial during pregnancy due to the radical increase of weight and fluids.

In this practice, you will learn: Baddha Konasana (Cobbler Pose) w/Cactus Arms; Thumbs in Armpits; Oval Breathing, Exhilarating Toe Pose w/ Namaste Behind Back; Garudasana (Eagle Pose) Arms; Gomukhasana (Cow Pose) Arms, Counter Toe Pose, Gomukhasana (Cow Pose) Arms and Legs.

Naked Office Yoga 3: For Your Upper Limbs (Naked Yoga School Video)

(Level: Basic) Office Yoga for your upper limbs focuses on the hands, wrists, forearms, elbows and arms. Sitting in an office usually results in using our upper limbs in unbalanced ways, holding part of the limb very still and asking another part of the limb to work tirelessly — thing about writing, typing, mousing. Repetitive stresses, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, are one expression of this imbalanced use of the upper limbs. A regular practice of the sequence provided here will help re-balance the upper limbs and can reduce your risk of repetitive stress injuries.

Naked Office Yoga 2: For Your Lower Limbs

(Level: Basic) Office Yoga for your lower limbs targets the feet, ankles, shins, knees and thighs. Sitting for long periods of time can be very hard on the circulatory system. Contraction and relaxation of the leg muscles helps to push your blood back up to the heart. Without this assistance, your heart has to work that much harder to keep the blood moving. So in addition to lengthening and strengthening your lower limbs, which tend to get neglected when we sit, this sequence is also good for your heart.
