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.

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

A ‘Yoga chair’ (a metal framed on like in my video) is helpful but not necessary for this practice. Learn how to use the chair to support yoga poses, whether that is because you are dealing with fatigue or you want to explore poses a little longer to improve your technique.
I used to think that props got in the way of a ‘real’ Yogasana practice but, as my practice has deepened, they have become essential tools. Allowing each posture to become (in the words of BKS Iyengar) “Meditation in action”.
I hope by the end of this half hour yoga practice you may feel the same way.
Enjoy!
Love and light,

Standing poses feature heavily within the Iyengar yoga practice, bringing strength into the legs and body. You soon feel it when they have not been practiced for a while.
Dan noticed the other day that his inner thighs had become tight. He requested a practice to stretch them out.
Here it is – triangle and sideways stretch with a peppering of the cobbler pose.
Enjoy
