Man, have I mentioned lately that I freaking LOVE YOGA??? I just got off my mat completely transformed. I took a sub class on this afternoon to help out a friend and it was a class that I usually took, so the ol’ bod felt a bit rough around the edges when I got home today. When I’m approaching my moon my psoas feels like it’s about to leap out of my body and lash unsuspecting civilians across the face like a piano wire. That doesn’t improve my mood either. So I hit the deck with the intention to open and soften that area and I think it worked out pretty well…ah.
- Adho Mukha Svanasana
- Uttanasana
- Twisted lunge > Virabhadrasana II > Parsva konasana preparation [with the emphasis on the back thigh back]
- Parvritta Uttanasana
- Virabhadrasana I > Virabhadrasana III > Ardha Chandrasana >Uttanasana, with a bit of old
- Utkatasana in between
- Prasarita Padottanasana > w/a twist, one arm far out in front and grab the opposite ankle
- Trikonasana from that wide stance
- Prasarita again
- Ardha Hanumanasana [crispy PMS hamstrings, ugh]
- Adho Mukha Vrksasana [might as well work something strong with this stiff body; not too bad today!]
- Pincha Mayurasana
- Baddha Parvritta Parsva Konasana [dude...whoa]
- Hanumanasana [THIS was the big shift. This fixes everything. It is truly the Buckley's Mixture of asanas. Tastes awful, and it works]
- Supta Virasana, got M to stand on my hip creases=thighs back
- Supta Padangusthasana, as above [what a great partner adjustment, I can feel my eyes rolling back in my head just thinking about it]
- Urdhva Dhanurasana x 2
- Eka Hasta Urdhva Dhanurasana, hand right on the knee and pulling in
- Eka Pada Raja Kapotasana 1 w/back leg in Ardhha Bhekasana to
- Parvritta Janu Sirsasana
- Paschimottanasana
- Savasana
Now it’s the 49ers/Cardinals and I’m-a make some soup. Please, try this at home! [level 1/2 practice]
