18 DAYS OF YOGA - COMING SOON!

18 DAYS OF YOGA - COMING SOON! On 1st January 2020, the first of our 18 Days of Yoga will be published. Find out how the series will work here. This series of yoga sequences and tutorials will get you kick-started for the New Year, helping you to develop a disciplined practice which will help to tone your body and calm your mind. Introduction to 18 Days of Yoga. Following the success of our 30 Days of Yoga, 13 Days of Yoga and 19 Days of Yoga series, this year we have taken a slightly different approach. Days 1, 8, 13 and 18 are longer sequences, on each of the days in-between, we examine three of the poses from the sequence in more detail. 18th January 2019 will be the fifth annual National Iyengar Yoga Day in the UK and Ireland to celebrate the teachings of Guruji, B.K.S. Iyengar, and to promote Iyengar yoga nationally and globally. Events will include free taster classes and celebrations of his life in Iyengar Yoga Institutes and centres throughout the country. ' Yoga with Lin and Leo' channel is leading up to this day with a series of sequences. In the Iyengar tradition, these sequences would be regarded as Beginners Yoga poses as they are all taken from the Introductory syllabus, however, they are not suitable for those who are completely new to yoga. If you are a complete beginner to yoga, look at our Introduction to Yoga series in our playlists: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLTwDvdKnrC6sWDlaeynjjhR89GFrwer_ These balanced yoga routines will help to prepare Iyengar yoga students for yoga classes or yoga workshops at their local Iyengar Yoga centre. It will be helpful to have some yoga equipment although most props can be substituted with household items like cushions, towels etc. You will need a platform for Halasana (Plough or Plow Pose) and Sarvangasana (Shoulder Stand). This platform can most easily be assembled using 5 foam pads, but you can use folded blankets or towels. A standard yoga kit consists of the following equipment: 1 x yoga bolster (you can use 2 x foam pads or a couple of cushions or pillows) 2 x yoga bricks (you can use 2 x foam pads or the seat of a chair) 2 x yoga belts (you can use cords, ropes or even tea towels) 1 x yoga blanket (or other blanket) 4 x foam pads (you can used folded blankets) 1 x chair These sequences aim to improve your extension, alignment and balance in the poses. If you find any of the poses difficult, you can look the poses up in our Yoga Pose Directory, which we are adding to all the time. In the Pose Directory you will find yoga tutorials on many of the poses you will encounter in the 18 Days of Yoga Series. These tutorials will teach the poses in more detail and sometimes with extra props.
