Before the lock-down rules tightened I took my mat up to the shelter of the boulders up on Trencrom.
The back of the hill was still frosty and the wind was icy cold but the sun gave the gift of summer.
Seated twists are a marvellous way to keep your socks on, if, like me you are not so keen on chilly toes.
The twists head towards a simple forward bend then onto the arm balance Eka Hasta Bhujasana to bring the awareness back to the core of the body, re-balancing with Adho mukha svanasana (dog pose) and viparita karani (inverted energies pose).
No need to leave your home to practice this one, my thick yoga mat felt quite cumbersome and heavy.
Please pay attention that you practice these poses with care and attention, with your own needs and requirements in mind.
Love and light,
Lucy
Grab your yoga chair (or suitable alternative), a bolster (or foam pads) and join me with a couple of chair twists to unravel tension.
Bharadvajrasana and Marichyasana using a chair is a simple yet effective way to re-balance the postural muscles of the back and gentle tone and release the abdominal muscles.
Enjoy!
Love and light,
Lucy
“And…relax” is all this practice is about.
Comfort is key. Breathe smoothly and evenly.
As with all of the practices, please regard your body with the utmost reverence. Look after it, it is the only one you have.
If you need to come out of the poses sooner than prompted, please do so.
Love and shine bright,
Lucy
