…so I do it at home
Sunrise Yin Yoga is a total body Yin Yoga practice from Aprille Walker/Yoga Ranger. I needed a total body practice this morning. Yesterday I "ran" a 5K for breast cancer and my feet were (still are) in crippling pain. (background--I have 2 plates and 12 screws in each heel, so being on my feet for … Continue reading Sunrise Yin Yoga
I really felt this Yin Yoga Snack. The poses weren't always the most comfortable but I didn't have any problems holding them for a few minutes. I really like Banana Pose. I didn't realize how much until I encountered it in Aprille's Yin Yoga workouts. It's because she has you cross your ankles. It is … Continue reading Yin Yoga Snack for IT Band Relief & Outer Hip Release
It's been a while since I have posted a Yin Yoga review. But that doesn't mean I haven't been doing Yin Yoga. I have actually been focusing on two of Yoga Ranger's practices that have already been reviewed here: Yin Yoga for Full Shoulder Flexibility & Release and Yin Yoga for Leg Day. Yin Yoga … Continue reading Yin AM: Yin Yoga for Upper Body Tension Relief
Yin Yoga for Shoulder Flexibility & Release is my first fairly long Yin Yoga practice. And it wasn't as difficult to get through as I thought it would be. My shoulder pain is getting worse, not better, but I don't blame that on the therapeutic things I am doing (Yin Yoga and Classical Stretch). I … Continue reading Yin Yoga for Full Shoulder Flexibility & Release
This morning I did an actual Yin Yoga workout. This workout snack consists of primarily two poses that you hold for a long time. Since I have chronic shoulder pain, I thought this one was a good one to start with. It did not feel as good as I expected it to. It was actually … Continue reading Yin Yoga Snack for Chest, Shoulders & Upper Back Release
A reader of this blog introduced me to the idea of Yin Yoga and recommended the Yoga Ranger as a great YouTube Yogi. I did some research on Yin Yoga and visited the Yoga Ranger site on YouTube. I really liked what I saw. The Yogi is Aprille Walker and she has a lot of … Continue reading Yoga Snack for Shoulder, Side Body, Chest, Back & Neck Stretch
I was very interested when I saw that Linda Wooldridge had created a new series called Warm & Stretch. Not just because I am in recovery mode and looking for easier workouts. Warm & Stretch workouts look and sound like something I would use in conjunction with yoga on my yoga Sundays--regardless of what my … Continue reading Barlates: Warm & Stretch/Standing
Yogini is another yoga fusion workout by Ellen Barrett. It is also available for free on YouTube (at least right now it is), which is how I did it this morning. This was a tough workout! For me at least. It is a flowing fusion workout. You never hold any pose longer than 4 counts … Continue reading Yogini
Gentle Yoga Stretch is another yoga/flexibility collection from Jessica Smith. Jessica has quite a few of these types of workouts and she does them very well. These are more excellent and thorough yoga practices to add to my collection. I didn't find them as gentle as the title promises but that could be due to … Continue reading Gentle Yoga Stretch
Yoga Fusion Fix is another of Jessica Smith's new releases. This one contains 3 intermediate level yoga practices of varying lengths. Jessica is by herself. All of the workouts are set on a wooden deck with the ocean in the background. I enjoyed all of these yoga practices. The longest one, Strength + Flexibility, was … Continue reading Yoga Fusion Fix
