18 Days of Yoga - DAY 13. Iyengar Yoga Sequence

18 Days of Yoga - DAY 13. Iyengar Yoga Sequence @yogawithlinandleo. 40 minute Iyengar Yoga class. 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 for our 18 Days of Yoga. Days 1, 7 and 13, are longer sequences where we have done voiceovers, rather than talking to camera. Lin, in the white top, will be showing the classic versions of poses and Leo, in the green top, will be showing modified versions of the poses using props. The modified versions are for those who find the pose difficult, or who wish to improve their work in the pose. In the subsequent days, we teach three of the poses which are in the previous sequences 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. 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 want Beginners Iyengar Yoga, check out our playlist for an introductory Iyengar yoga course for complete beginners http://bit.ly/2HkKL1J Day 13 of 18 Days of Yoga - the yoga class comprises the following yoga poses: Tadasana (Mountain Pose) Virabhadrasana II (Warrior 2 Pose) Modified Virabhadrasana III from Uttanasasna (Warrior 3 Pose from a forward bend) Utthita Trikonasana (Triangle Pose) Ardha Chandrasana (Half Moon Pose) Virabhadrasana I (Warrior 1 Pose) Parsvottanasana (Intense Side Stretch - Pyramid Pose) Parivrtta Trikonasana (Revolved Triangle Pose) Marichyasana I (Seated Twist) Malasana (Garland Pose) Arkarna Dhanurasana (Archer Pose) Prone Tadasana Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) Urdhva Mukha Svanasana (Upward Facing Dog Pose) Garudasana arms in Virasana (Eagle Pose arms in Hero Pose) Halasana (Plough Pose or Plow Pose) Salamba Sarvangasana (Shoulder Balance or Shoulder Stand) Supta Baddha Konasana (Supine Bound Angle Pose) If you are doing the classical yoga poses, you just need your mat, a platform made from 4 pads and a launch pad. If you are doing the modified versions, you will need the following yoga equipment: 1 x yoga chair (you can use a sturdy dining or kitchen chair) 2 x yoga bricks (you can use 2 x foam pads or the seat of a chair) 1 x yoga belt (you can use cord, rope or even a tea towel) 5 x Foam pads (you can use folded blankets for your platform with a cushion or similar for the launch pad) 1 x rolled blanket (you can use a large towel or another yoga mat in a roll) These sequences aim to improve your extension, alignment and balance in the poses. If you find any of the poses difficult, look at the tutorials which will be released on subsequent days or you can look the poses up in our Yoga Pose Directory, which we are adding to all the time.These tutorials will teach the poses in more detail and sometimes with extra props.
