Wednesday Yoga (8/15) ~ Finding Humor in Balancing Poses

Classes may have seem a bit intense lately with all the vinyasa flows back-to-back-to-back, so let's bring back some humor and fun to class with some balancing poses. Balancing poses often appear exotic and sometimes, it appears to be a lot harder than it actually is.

There are two types of balancing poses - one that focuses on the lower body (standing balances) and on the upper body (arm balances). Throughout our practice, I will try to incorporate both types; however, with the time limitations, we may only be able to focus on one.

If you have any suggestions for balancing poses that you would like to see incorporated into this week's class, send me a note! Speak, or forever hold your silence (and deal with what I plan for the class).

I look forward to seeing you and as always, bring your energy and your sense of humor! It will be a fun class (as always, right?). :)

You guys are amazing!!! Thank you for coming out and having fun. I understand that sun salutations have been missing throughout our practice lately, so thanks for the suggestion of bringing them back. I will certainly incorporate them throughout our practices more often. As I always say, your feedback is what makes the class what it is, so any poses you miss or sequences we haven't practiced in class, please let me know about it if you want to see them back. It takes a lot to make me offended, so I invite you to be candid.

Tonight is challenging, and we will definitely feel it tomorrow - particularly on the lower body. It would be nice to come into a pigeon pose tomorrow to stretch out the hips and glutes after tonight's practice.

In regards to the vinyasa flows that are such a big part of our practice, how do you feel about them? Are we over-doing it, or are you getting bored of them? Please let me know, because I think I am at a point where feedback is crucial for inspiration for upcoming classes. Please let me know what your thoughts are... if you prefer to e-mail me, that's fine. If not, you can post a comment anonymously.

Thanks again!
