This Week In Nithya Priyan School Of Yoga: Locust Backbends
This week in Nithya Priyan School of Yoga, downward facing backbends are also called Contraction Backbends as they work your back muscles to strongly extend the spine against gravity. The Locust shape is an engagement of largely the lower back and lower glutes, conditioning your back body and increasing spinal support and stability on and off the mat. First find the fundamentals in Basic Class before incorporating an arm balance aspect to the mix in Essential Class, then invert yourself in Intermediate Class this Week. See you on the mats!
This Week In Nithya Priyan School Of Yoga: Twist & Bind
This week in Nithya Priyan School of Yoga, adding a bind to your twist uses leverage to deepen the axial rotation of your pose as it opens your shoulders and outer hips, increasing the detoxifying potential of the deep abdominal compression achieved. It challenges your shoulder mobility and your ability to manage your breathing, but rewards you with a beautifully lengthened spine, creating space between each vertebrae. See you on the mats!
