Strength from Direction. Intermediate Iyengar Yoga

Strength from Direction. Intermediate Iyengar Yoga. How do we find the strength to access some of the more demanding asanas? It’s not through a development of muscle bulk but an understanding of direction in the body. In this 20 minute Iyengar yoga class, Lin teaches a wrist balance and an extreme forward bend using technique to access the actions required. The poses in this yoga sequence are: Prone Tadasana (Mountain Pose) on yoga brick Sukhasana - Easy Pose Bhujangasana - Cobra Pose Urdhva Mukha Swanasana - Dog Head Up Adho Mukha Swanasana - Dog Head Down Adho Mukha Virasana- Forward Fold Hero Pose Garudasana- Eagle Pose Arms Eka Hasta Bhujasana - Leg over Shoulder Pose Kurmasana - Turtle Pose Salamba Sarvangasana - Shoulder stand Savasana- Corpse Pose You need your mat, a blanket, a wall, , and you will need a yoga brick and four foam pads for this practice.
