Yoga for Quads - Build Heat, Stretch & Mobilize - Work your Quadriceps - Five Parks Yoga

*Welcome back to the City of Rocks* for our second class filmed in this incredible location! This practice is completely dedicated to the *quadriceps* - the tops of your legs. Together, we are going to deeply strengthen, stretch, and mobilize the quads to build incredible lower body stability, freedom of movement, and joint health. We begin by grounding down and arriving with some guided breathing right in Rock Pose to match our majestic surroundings. From there, we will quickly build some fiery heat to warm up the muscles using crescent lunge dips, prayer squat holds with pulses, and challenging chair pose holds with twists and heel lifts. You will definitely feel the *quads heat up* as we find our balance in a powerful one-legged staff pose hold! Once the fire is lit, we transition into effective, deep quad stretches. We will balance in a standing runner's stretch and play with Sugar Cane Pose (half moon with a quad stretch). After a fluid vinyasa flow, we will ground down into Malasana (wide yogi squat) before dropping down to the mat for deep, focused floor stretches including Hero Pose, half hero, and a half lotus twist. We will also enjoy a deep hip stretch in Pigeon Pose with a bonus quad opener for the back leg, and finish by engaging the entire front side of the leg in Heron Pose before lowering down for bridge pose, twists, and a peaceful savasana. Quick heads up on the audio at the end: During the final closing my voice drops and it turned out a little hard to hear in the final edit - oops, lesson learned. *Enjoy the heat and the deep release!* *p.s. - Please Consider SUBSCRIBING & LIKING this yoga class.
