- [00:00:10.140]Hello everyone, welcome to yoga.
- [00:00:12.750]My name is Iryna,
- [00:00:14.400]and today we will pose through the strong and slow flow.
- [00:00:19.080]We'll do a lot of stretches,
- [00:00:20.321]in our sides and our chest and heart openness,
- [00:00:24.880]so we will create some space,
- [00:00:26.470]in our lungs for deep breaths.
- [00:00:29.537]And the affirmation for today's class will be,
- [00:00:32.817]"I am well
- [00:00:34.847]"and I am safe."
- [00:00:38.980]So, let's get started!
- [00:00:42.990]For this class,
- [00:00:44.290]you will need a one yoga block,
- [00:00:47.080]at least one yoga block.
- [00:00:48.670]If you have two, wonderful,
- [00:00:50.740]we will use two blocks
- [00:00:52.210]and the blanket is also nice to have
- [00:00:55.140]for knees as a cushion and for savasana
- [00:00:58.825]to feel comfortable in the end of the class in resting pose.
- [00:01:03.690]We will start this sequence,
- [00:01:07.840]in kneeling position,
- [00:01:10.490]in the hero pose,
- [00:01:11.690]so if you feel comfortable,
- [00:01:14.680]staying on your knees
- [00:01:15.513]for a few minutes of mindfulness and mindful breathing,
- [00:01:20.930]come on your knees.
- [00:01:23.010]If it's really intense to stay like this,
- [00:01:25.490]you can slide a block or a couple blocks
- [00:01:28.020]in between the lower legs
- [00:01:29.540]so you can sit on the blocks here.
- [00:01:32.550]So you let your hips in,
- [00:01:34.160]have a lot less stress on the knees.
- [00:01:36.570]But if you are still,
- [00:01:37.920]feel not really comfortable in the kneeling position,

- [00:17:20.150]with our right arm.
- [00:17:22.700]So, turn your chest towards the earth
- [00:17:26.438]and spin your arm in front of you,
- [00:17:32.120]then behind of you
- [00:17:33.340]and then over your head,
- [00:17:34.900]opening your chest to the side again,
- [00:17:37.160]chest down, which is your arm forth to the side
- [00:17:43.000]and over your head.
- [00:17:44.870]Let's do two more of this big circles with our right hand.
- [00:17:52.189]I think you good.
- [00:17:54.250]Last one, good.
- [00:17:56.470]Now we are going to release.
- [00:17:58.280]So, engage your core,
- [00:18:00.460]come back up,
- [00:18:02.410]now bend your right knee.
- [00:18:03.243]So you have your right foot in a T-shape,
- [00:18:06.880]the what the left shape.
- [00:18:11.170]And here rest your right hand on top of your right thigh,
- [00:18:14.160]or right knee, left hand on the waist
- [00:18:16.410]and start rocking side to side,
- [00:18:18.609]rocking your pelvis side to side.
- [00:18:21.980]Nice hip opener, to the half squat.
- [00:18:28.130]If this moment was in your knee,
- [00:18:30.860]again, you're welcome to slide the blanket.
- [00:18:33.510]If you don't have the blanket,
- [00:18:34.880]maybe just stay in the half squats like this,
- [00:18:38.580]pressing your hips to the side without movement.
- [00:18:42.410]So your choice here.
- [00:18:46.640]One more,
- [00:18:49.830]good.
- [00:18:50.663]And next we're going to the pyramid pose.
- [00:18:54.640]I need you to turn around
- [00:18:55.800]so I am facing the front of my yoga mat.
- [00:18:58.490]Maybe you're ready here.
- [00:18:59.780]So, maybe you didn't need to do this moment,
- [00:19:02.780]sometimes it's really helpful
- [00:19:04.000]to have this two blocks on the side of your right foot.
- [00:19:08.490]So, when you're ready,
- [00:19:10.270]take you back to center
- [00:19:12.067]and extend your both knees.
- [00:19:14.350]So, when this,
- [00:19:16.120]move this blanket to the side if you have one here.
- [00:19:19.670]And maybe you need to bring,
- [00:19:20.790]your back foot closer to the front heel
- [00:19:22.810]and perhaps you need to slide your feet,
- [00:19:24.453]also a bit wider distant apart.
- [00:19:27.570]If you this blocks maybe you start with this,
- [00:19:30.610]strongest side of the block.
- [00:19:32.370]resting your hands on the blocks,
- [00:19:34.050]spread your hips,
- [00:19:36.150]pressing your left hip down
- [00:19:39.470]and right hip back and up.
- [00:19:42.870]And we will continue with the movement here,
- [00:19:44.633]with every breath in you will lengthen through the spine.
- [00:19:49.320]Maybe having your torso perpendicular to the floor,
- [00:19:51.590]maybe even a little high here
- [00:19:54.040]and with every breathe out sink a little deeper
- [00:19:56.973]with your abdomen toward the thigh.
- [00:19:59.340]Breath in, back up,
- [00:20:01.630]breath out, sink.
- [00:20:03.760]And you know maybe for you,
- [00:20:04.850]it's a like little tiny moment here,
- [00:20:07.560]it should not be a big moment
- [00:20:09.103]it should feel good in your body,
- [00:20:12.600]without pain and deep discomfort.
- [00:20:19.300]We should not bring the pain,
- [00:20:21.000]so let's do one more.
- [00:20:25.640]Awesome now.
- [00:20:26.790]Soften your front knee,
- [00:20:28.460]shift the weight of the body on the right foot.
- [00:20:30.440]If you have blocks,
- [00:20:31.273]rest the blocks in front of the toes of your right foot,
- [00:20:34.540]if you don't have blocks,
- [00:20:35.780]have your hands on the mat here
- [00:20:37.420]and then pull your back heel up,
- [00:20:40.020]perhaps stay here.
- [00:20:41.660]Maybe if you find balance,
- [00:20:44.030]shift the weight burden of the right foot,
- [00:20:45.980]lift your back leg as high as the couch on the floor,
- [00:20:49.800]it can be really close to the ground.
- [00:20:53.740]So if you're using the blocks,
- [00:20:55.010]have your hands down on the blocks,
- [00:20:56.570]square your hips here,
- [00:20:57.750]so you might need to bring your,
- [00:21:00.190]for most of the people who need to bring your left hip down,
- [00:21:04.370]so you feel the,
- [00:21:06.540]the pelvis is leveled here.
- [00:21:10.440]And then when you find the balance and stability,
- [00:21:12.557]you can bring your hands to your heart.
- [00:21:16.650]Keeping your head, neck and spine aligned,
- [00:21:19.660]you can bring your arms in front of you,
- [00:21:22.530]to the airplane, to the side.
- [00:21:24.930]So your choices here.
- [00:21:27.130]here and even here,
- [00:21:29.240]one more breath here.
- [00:21:33.820]And then release the pose,
- [00:21:36.480]left foot behind your right leg.
- [00:21:42.950]So you have your legs crossed here
- [00:21:44.910]in this pinky sack of the feet touching each other,
- [00:21:48.030]or at least really close to each other.
- [00:21:50.600]And then you have these blocks here,
- [00:21:52.530]it will express your length in your spine,
- [00:21:55.590]So it'll be half way to see your negatives,
- [00:21:58.340]on next breath out,
- [00:21:59.897]you round back, round your shoulders sink toward the legs.
- [00:22:03.670]The fourth fold inhale back in,

- [00:22:20.000]you can shake your head it feels good in your body.
- [00:22:26.150]And then for next breath,
- [00:22:28.640]rise up to stand up,
- [00:22:29.866]maybe swing your hands to the side,
- [00:22:32.350]reach with them over your head.
- [00:22:35.300]And then exhale, release.
- [00:22:38.420]Still keep your legs crossed,
- [00:22:40.280]reach with your right arm over your head and press out.
- [00:22:44.340]Lean to the left side for side stretch,
- [00:22:46.480]here you can grab your right wrist with your left hand,
- [00:22:51.120]add the little pull here to this side.
- [00:22:55.060]You look up here so you know,
- [00:22:56.670]that you not cheating your face with your right arm.
- [00:23:01.008]Continue breathing into your right side,
- [00:23:04.090]expanding them.
- [00:23:08.940]Good, let's release.
- [00:23:10.100]Come back to the center.
- [00:23:11.620]Arms to the side, put forward
- [00:23:15.490]and twist your legs
- [00:23:18.090]and step back with your right foot,
- [00:23:20.470]left foot back, to the plank pose.
- [00:23:24.320]Stay here in the plank pose for pure press
- [00:23:26.490]if you need to modify,
- [00:23:27.610]bring the knees down.
- [00:23:29.210]So notice your body create the shape of planks.
- [00:23:32.050]It's flat, it's straight, quarters engaged.
- [00:23:37.200]And then everyone go down.
- [00:23:38.517]You'll need some space.
- [00:23:40.003]Slow down your chest, slow down your chin
- [00:23:42.270]and tuck your toes, press yourself to the baby couver.
