52 flow: february video

This is one of our favourite times of the month! We get to share a new video with you to help you link all the poses this month together. 

We recommend that you start building this sequence into your weekly routine, even if you only have 5 minutes to flow through it once a week. It'll help your body remember the poses and it will set you up for success as we move forward. The best way to kick off a "fuller practice" when you have 15 minutes to spare, would be to start with January's 52 Flow video and then flow right into February's video below:

You can easily subscribe to the yoga52 YouTube channel to have access to all our videos in one easy place. We will continue to add content up here as the weeks move forward and as always if you have a suggestion, please share it with us. Happy flowing!

pose of the week: warrior II

Can you believe that we are already that we're into the last week of February already? How was your self-love this week? We really hope you took some time to send yourself love this week. Maybe it was as simple as taking a down day OR shutting off those negative thoughts and telling yourself something amazing about you OR having a bath with a glass of wine...let us know what your self-love looks like!

And now onto the new pose of the week:

We are back in the lunge business this week and it is so worth it! We really think you are going to love the way warrior II feels on your body. It is one of those poses that has the added benefit of actually making you feel like a bad*ss warrior (if you let it ;).

See below to get all the juicy details on how to get into this pose right away! (Psst...let us know if you like the new format of having the the graphic below or in button form to download (like it previously was). We thought this would be better because it's one less click!)

And let us help walk you through how to do the pose safely by listening to our audio:

So now you're ready to take on Warrior II, but may we suggest that you try it out after warming up with the February bonus of the month video! Enjoy this week and we'll see you in seven!

pose of the week: warrior I

It's time for another pose and guess what!! They're getting good! This week we're digging into...

Warrior I is so fantastic and psst... it's just like crescent lunge, but your back foot is down on your mat! Make sure you download the PDF below to learn how to do the pose correctly PLUS take advantage of learning about the benefits of the pose along with some ways to make it more challenging.

And as always, once you have a grasp on how to perform it, it's always a good idea to perform the pose along with the audio!

We wish you a well week of Warrior I! And cannot wait to come back a little later today to share some EXCITING news with you!!

february bonus of the month: half sun salutation + low lunge

We are so excited to bring you another video that'll help take your yoga warm-up to the next level! Do you recall how to do a Half Sun Salutation? Well, think of this new video like the best ice cream you've ever had + added a new scoop of deliciousness (aka low lunge) on top... mmmm hmmm it's really that good.

Try it out now:

We recommend that you use the video this month as a warm up to all the poses that you perform throughout FebYOUary.

Why not start combining this video into your daily morning routine and layering your poses together each week? Clear as mud?!?

Here's what we mean: 

• Start each day with the newest Half Sun Salutation + low lunge video.
   
• Then flow into your crescent lunge (hold 2-3 breaths) > then to runner's lunge (hold 2-3 breaths) > to forward fold to release.
   
• Repeat that sequence on the other side!

Happy posing!!!

pose of the week: runner's lunge

Can you believe that we are already heading into week 2 of month 2? As you read in our newsletter, we have decided to make our focus this month (FebYOUary) to be all about sending yourself as much love as possible. What better way to do that than practicing a pose that looks as awesome as this?

Runner's lunge is a great addition to the variety of lunge poses that you'll find yourself in as your yoga practice evolves. It has similar benefits as crescent lunge, but also includes the major ADDED BONUS of working your core and taking your balance to the next level.

How did you do last week? Are your legs all lunged out? Make sure you're warming up and taking your time getting in and out of these postures. Our suggestion is to warm up using this month's bonus video Half Sun Salutation + low lunge and then dive into your pose of the week.

Happy lunging! 

What to do with the new pose:

• Add it onto your January 52 flow sequence (aka the last four poses we worked on)
• Add it into your already awesome morning yoga routine after you perform February's Bonus of the Month video!
• Use the audio above to help you flow through it!
