pose of the week: chair pose

in

Welcome to our third pose! We started the movement off with tree pose, and from there went to eagle pose and now we're moving onto...

chair pose

So you don't have to worry about your balance quite as much this week! You are welcome ;).

Once you read through how to do the pose (by clicking the button above), use the additional audio below as you get into position to perform it. (Just for additional help + support because we got yo' back!)

We introduced the bonus of the month video for January last week, so if you're using it (how's it going??), we encourage you to keep doing it into this week as well! Remember: this bonus video is to help you start connecting movement to breath - the essence of yoga.

We've actually created a separate page for the bonus videos, so make sure you check it out.

Let us know how this week goes and what this pose does for you! It's all about connecting with yourself on an inner/deeper level and seeing what it means to you, so happy practicing! And make sure to stay social with us because we always love hearing from you!

pose of the week: eagle pose + bonus of the month video

in

Welcome to the second week of the yoga52 movement! How did the first week go? Was tree pose a great intro/starter? We hope so :) This week you're getting two-for-one: the pose of the week PLUS our bonus of the month video! The bonus video is to help you learn to connect movement with breath, which is essentially what yoga is. 

We didn't want to wait any longer to introduce it just because it's very important to start recognizing when to breathe in and breathe out through the poses. So take the time to learn the pose of the week and take a look at our bonus video for January below (along with how we recommend you incorporating it).

If you already have the January calendar, then you should know what pose is coming next. But if you haven't peeked ahead, it's...

We move into a bit more challenging terrain. Remember last week how we mentioned balance being a crucial element to yoga? Well, here's the proof!

Click below and follow along with the audio version as you get into the pose!

 

a helpful (beginner's) hint:

Whichever leg you have crossed over top, the arm from that side is crossed underneath. So, left leg crosses overtop right leg, and left arm crosses underneath right arm.

january bonus of the month: half sun salutation

This bonus video, like we mentioned, is to connect breath with movement. Here are our suggestions for adding it into your daily practice:

So once you've performed a basic "go to" move, then move onto the bonus of the month, and finish up with eagle pose!

We hope you enjoy this week!
