In light on yoga there is a 300 week programme. I have followed the sequence using Yoga, a wall and props.
Although props are not necessary, they do improve sensory feed-back, ease, and the awareness of internal energy asana, making each yoga pose an entirely new somatic experience.
I though it would be fun to follow last week’s sequence again but showing it in a different light.
This practice has been amazing for me, re-visiting it nearly 30 years after first practicing it.
Reading BKS Iyengar’s words as if for the first time but knowing my body and the poses in a deeper manner.
Tadasana, Vrksasana, Utthita-Trikonasana, Utthita- Parsvakonasana, Virabhadrasana 1&2, Parsvottanasana, Salamba-sarvangasana, Halasana and of course I leave you with Savasana.
Enjoy! Have a beautiful day.
Love and light,

In the back of ‘Light on Yoga’ is a 300 week yoga programme. I though it would be interesting to practice week one. Guruji said “My body is my first prop”. Today this is all I had too, so this is a practice without any other props, not even a mat 🙂 and I kept slipping in the sand which made it slightly more challenging.
For more info about the poses check out the Light on Yoga book, it is amazing.
Next week I will put up the second version I made, with props and shoulder stand too.
Love and light,

Relax your upper body with this gentle relaxed look at arm stretching.
Give yourself an internal massage if you move sensitively and gently through this practice.
Feel the tension drain away.
Once again from the Yoga studio in Kerela above Samudra beach…. a heavenly place to be, as the locals say “God’s own country”.
This place is amazing.

A 45 minute yoga practice going through standing poses and then into shoulder stand.
A little delayed but for those of you who came on retreat with me, I hope this brings back some wonderful memories.
Smile, stretch and settle.

Just the basics: standing poses, dog head down and relaxation.
This quick yoga session will set you up for the day nicely.
This was filmed a little while ago now, but still relevant.
Enjoy
This little session has attention on the tail bone through a downward dog sequence, forward bends and length along the spine.
With attention to the Low back area, work within your own body’s capacity and respond to your own needs.
Enjoy, love and light,

Take your yoga outside. Warrior poses need no mat, just good flat non slip shoes or bare feet if the surface is suitable.
10 minutes is the time these three poses took, go on, I’m sure you have time 🙂
Enjoy.
If you fancy an Italian holiday in Ischia, I will be teaching from the 11th -18th June

This practice was such fun, please do not do this practice in a tree, for a start it is hard to find the perfect tree. I was lucky! How ever being out in nature, especially around tree’s is thoroughly recommended for health and well being. So much so that the Japanese call it Shinrin Yoku (Forest Bathing).
Some of the poses are modified to fit on or within the space that this magnificent Monteray pine gave me, so forgive some of my distances. Standing poses and back bends were the poses that flowed.
I do hope you enjoy the practice as much as i did.
Please look after yourself during your practice and read your movements well.
Enjoy
Love and light
Lucy
