Five Minute Yoga

shariyoga — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 15:31:11 +0000

We want to move our bodies in every way available, everyday: extending, side bending, backbending, forward folding, and twisting. Add specific areas to your practice that need special attention: hamstrings, shoulders, neck, hips, balance, or core…We all have our area of opportunity! It doesn’t take a lot of time, but it does require a commitment. The pay-off is sweet: more open body, mind, and spirit.

You can begin before getting out of bed. Hug your knees into chest and then gently twist.
Table and cat/cow.
Downward dog. Stretch it all out. (For a different option, try puppy or child pose.)
Plank. Get in a little strengthening.
Alternate back and forth between downdog and plank a few times.
Lower to your belly for a cobra or sphinx.
From seated, do sidebends, a forward fold, twists and then throw in another twist for good measure.

Pause at the end for a moment to notice your breath, set an intention for the day, and a moment of gratitude for what your body can do for you.

Namaste!

AWOL

shariyoga — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 00:07:11 +0000

Hi Yogi Pals,

I know I’ve been AWOL to my site lately. I’ve been focusing on hang time with my daughter before she heads off for a semester in Germany. I hope the new year is treating you well. This mild winter is to my liking and has me thinking of spring: clean out closets, change a few habits, adjust certain attitudes, update my website and include my Spring schedule….

Spring registration is now available at McAllister Center and Morton Center.

Peace and joy,

Shari
