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!

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!!

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!

pose of the week: crescent lunge

Welcome to a fabulous new month, which means a new month of fabulous poses! <---Our creative juices were REALLY flowing there ;).

So this month will be a liiiiiiittle different from how we kicked January off. There will be no calendar in advance to see what you'll be rocking each week, but we like to think of it as a perk. The awesome perk of excitement and curiosity! (Don't worry...curiosity didn't kill the yogi!)

Feel free to guess in the comments below this post what you think will be next in the line-up...which could turn into a fun yoag52 game!

For now, let's get to this week's pose:

If you remember back to last week's low lunge, it was a handy little pose to prep you for this week's!

What to do with the new pose:

• Add it onto your January 52 flow sequence (aka the last four poses we worked on)
• Review the recommendations for how to perform Days 1 through 7 (if you're still feeling stuck)
• Add it into your already awesome morning yoga routine!
• Use the audio to help you flow through it!

Have a fun week of practice and we look forward to seeing you back here next week!

pose of the week: low lunge

Can you believe that we're almost through the first month of poses?? I hope you've been enjoying the process so far and getting into a regular routine. (Do mornings or nights work better for you?)

Let's recap quickly: we've gone from tree pose to eagle pose to chair pose and now we're moving on to the last pose this month, which is:

Low lunge is a great addition to the poses we already used this month. It is easily added into any sequence ("sequence" aka when we link poses together) and spoiler alert we will be featuring low lunge in February's Bonus of the Month video! 

To ensure you are doing this pose correctly, make sure you download the PDF above and also use the audio to help guide you through safely. Remember we highly encourage you to start off your practice using the Half Sun Salutation video and then from there moving into your low lunge (it'll take you about 5- 10 minutes).

Once you've conquered the low lunge, we want you to try out our January 52 Flow video! This video links together all the poses you've been working on this month. How exciting is that?!!!
