About Abhyasa: Slow Morning Vinyasa Practice: Side Waist, Legs, Hips, Low Back

This slow groovy morning vinyasa sequence is designed to open the side waist, stretch the hips, energize the legs and awaken the low back.

Movements are fluid and slow and exploratory. Instruction encourages the discovery of and willingness to feel and move towards the tightspots.

Includes gentle opening and savasana.

Lulu Bandha's always recommends checking with your doctor or other health care practitioner before embarking on an exercise program.

This is lovely! Quite similar to the 'style' I teach. Love the pace of this practice - so just right. I love

where you have placed some of the poses, though, so a few new nuances for me to play with and try out. Thanks so much!

 

Hugs,

Martie

I actually used this one to beat the 3pm slump and chair stiffness. Talk about total meltdown in the best sense of the wordWink.  I feel so incredibly relaxed and refreshed now.

 

Thanks Kira - you crack me up - it's so wonderful to see a gifted teacher who is so totally enjoying yoga and breathing. Thanks for being you. xx

This is a wonderful routine, once again with impeccable explanations and reasons for doing things.  I'm so hooked to Kira's style.

This might be one of my all time favorite practices for when I have under an hour.  It is only 49 minutes but feels so slow and relaxed and gets in to all the good spots.  I love the instruction before going into Warrior 2 to tilt the sit bone towards the opposite ankle - lightbulb moment for me!  I also loved the cow-faced pose sequence.  I will be doing this one again and again!  Smile

Still perfection!  This is my go to practice if I need to relax and open up!  Perfect length too for days when there's not enough time for a 90 min practice.  I'd love to see one more 30-45 min practice with a lot of hip and shoulder focus.  Thanks for this site!

    - Then, press "Pause" and allow the video to "load" before hitting "Play" again.
    - You will know the video is "loading" as the bar to the right of the play button darkens gray.
