Honey Flow: Straighten the Legs to Bend the Legs
Aired -
Kevin Bigger
e-ryt 500 yoga teacher and teacher trainer based in brooklyn, ny.
i started practicing yoga up in boston in my late teens, immediately after a period of massive (less than healthy) weight loss, and just before...
(suggested props: two blocks, a belt, a blanket or two, and a bolster or something similar)
In class tonight, we spend a lot of time working to fully straighten the legs so that they can be more willing to deeply bend in variations of virasana (hero’s pose).
(Int) The most delicious (and stealthily challenging) of Kula classes. A one hour serving of sticky, sweaty Kula Flow, lathered with 20 minutes of yin yoga (deep, intense stretching) and a 15 minute restorative asana topping. YUM. We know that no one needs a little deep chill out more than NYC yogis, but most of us are too type A to take a true restorative class. So – this is the Kula solution. As one student put it: "You kick our ass for an hour and then kiss it for another 30 minutes.” (Sanskrit translation please)?
