Let’s talk about the ever so popular hand balancing, or is it arm balancing? What’s the difference and how would someone get started, SAFELY! I have been teaching hand balancing for over 10 years and I made this video as an entry point to understanding … Read more
In this video class we use a kinetic stretching exercise in a mandala format. Use this pattern to strengthen the lower limbs focusing on the hip joints. Once the pattern/sequence is understood, the movement can then be loaded to create more feedback (force) in the … Read more
In this video lesson we use a kinetic stretching exercise in a sequenced flow. The mandala sequence can be repeated and reversed (performed backwards). Once the pattern/sequence is understood, the movement can then be loaded to create more feedback (force) in the tissue. Use weighted … Read more
For this week’s video we dive deeper into the Surya Namsakar A sequence and add the low lunge twist variation into the mix. We progress each round in difficulty so stay within your capacity. This is a traditional sequence in yoga so it is not … Read more
In this video we demonstrate the basic Surya Namaskar A sequence (sun salutation) that has been made popular in modern yoga. This sequence is found at the beginning of most yoga classes and is often used as a warm up, however it can be quite … Read more
In this dynamic sequence we use kinetic stretching for learning the lateral lunge, skandasana and our own “goalie save” pattern. These patterns are useful for strengthening the hips, lower limbs and joints. Once the pattern/sequence is understood, the movement can then be loaded to create … Read more
In this video we use a dynamic stretching sequence for strengthening the lower body in general. The pattern is then loaded (using weight) to create more feedback (force) in the tissue. *Use weighted progressions as strength increases.
PAILS & RAILS (progressive and regressive angular isometric loading) Assume the passive stretch (30-90 seconds) Begin progressive isometric contraction (5-15 seconds) Follow with the regressive (opposite) contraction (5-15 seconds) Stay at the acquired end range in a passive stretch (30-90 seconds) Begin the process again at the … Read more
