Morning practice! Happy Friday #yogaatthewall today. The weekend is almost here! Woot woot! Testing out @lanebryant new active wear. The girls stayed in place with the awesome sports bra. I love the leggings with real full on pockets and compression fit. It’s like wearing a sports bra on my lower half. Worth the investment enjoy your day https://www.instagram.com/p/BqzkIZdDtIM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=i0vh1rt3nqgh

Asana 335: Legs Up the Wall Variation #yogaatthewall #yinyoga #betterlatethannever (at Spark Yoga)

[ciaoyoga]

Yoga al muro per migliorare i propri allineamenti e effettuare le asana più “impossibili”!

Una parete può essere una grande amica dela tua pratica yoga e questo per mille motivi ma sopratutto perché può permetterti di sentire e correggere alcuni allineamenti in diverse asana e perchè può permetterti poi di familiarizzare anche con posizioni che ma avresti pensato di fare :) 

In questo video trovi dunque una breve sequenza di yoga al muro dove ci sono anche posizioni avanzate che puoi tranquillamente eseguire nella loro versione base (come nel caso di pincha mayurasana che puoi evitare di fare rimanendo invece nella posizione del delfino). Spero che questo tutorial ti piaccia e ti sia utile! Non esitare a farmi sapere se vuoi vedere qualche altra sequenza da effettuare sempre ad una parete. Buona pratica! Namasté!

WALL WORK: 😁 I love doing posture stuff at the WALL & ive been working on a lot of movements with the arms behind the body. This is a great way to wake up the upper back muscles & counter balance all the time we spend with arms in front of the body. 💪I am always amazed at how difficult it is to create force with the arms behind the body 👈😲 . 💥press the back of the skull into the wall 💥elbow straighten and PRESS the pinky back into the wall💥 keep that pressure and step the body forward away from the wall 💥 add a tiny snow angel movement 👼 . . . . . . . Tag @Yoga_At_The_Wall in all of your yoga explorations at the WALL to be reposted! Lets show the yoga community how versitile the wall is as a prop & why we should USE MORE WALL!! . . . . . . . # Lauragyoga #lauragoellneryoga #posture #shoulderextension #wallangels . . . . . . . #wallyoga #yogawall #yogaonthewall #yogaatthewall #yogatherapyatthewall #wall #props #yogaprops #accessibleyoga #usemorewall #thewallisyourfriend #yogabook #ebook #yogapracticemanual #wallstretch #yogawall (at Hummingbird Yoga NJ) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxqbLZahJOp/?igshid=4n3iaucii1tf

Ive been setting up the room differently for the past few months in Yoga Focus- with everyone's mat at the wall- sometimes we use the wall & sometimes we dont, but I have really been enjoying this set up and I like offering the WALL as a regular prop in yoga, not just for special sequences! .. ⭕🔴🔴🔴🔴⭕ ⭕🔴🔴🔴🔴⭕ .  .  .  .  .  .  @yoga_at_the_wall #wallyoga #yogaatthewall #lauragoellneryoga #lauragyoga #yoga #yogavideo #yogateacher #yogatherapist #yogatherapy #yogisofig #igyogis #yogini #yogi #yogatherapy #yogagirl #igyoga #yogisofinstagram #wallyoga #yogaatthewall #hummingbirdyoganj #therapeuticyoga (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0MNj6En1kD/?igshid=x5q6snrs70l4

The BOOK order came in so it was time...✂ ✂ ✂ ✂ ✂ ✂ I grow my hair out & cut it every 3-4 years - I time it with some sort of big life change. Last time was 3.5 years ago when we signed the contract to have the Tiny House built. That was about the time when I started working on "Yoga Therapy At The Wall" so i thought this was a good time to cut & donate my hair again 💇 . it feels good to have short hair again!! 🔴🔴🔴🔴 ..

Kick BACK & SIDE kick sequence at the WALL: ⭕🔴🔴🔴🔴⭕ This is a movement that is unique to WALL yoga 😁 and is very effective at building stability & awareness around the pelvic girdle. Starting with the foot pushing BACK into the wall will target Glute Maximus, then as you turn and press the SIDE of the leg into the wall it will target the ABDUCtors: glute med & minimus. Try it...give your glutes some 💙...you will feel them 😄 ⭕🔴🔴🔴🔴⭕ . This sequence can also help build stability in single foot balance poses! .. ..

WALL Salutation B: a few extra poses for this one...chair & warrior 1...forward fold with the back on the wall 👈😄 . This is the foundation for creating a flow with the wall.

WALL SALUTATION A: I really like this option for students with wrist or shoulder injuries that need some time off from weight bearing on the upper body...but still want to get some flowing movement in. My favorite part is the supported backbend with the front body resting on the wall 😁 .. Go find a wall and play around- there are so many variations on this! ..

SEATED WALL Sequence: I often use this toward the beginning of class to get in touch with the movement of the shoulder blades, the shoulder joint, the ribcage & the upper back. You can easily add in some neck movement too! .. The WALL is for support as well as RESISTANCE- push against it, then relax into it- an exploration of effort & ease 😁 .. 💥"Yoga Therapy At The WALL" instant PDF download is released tomorrow!

CORE STABILITY at the WALL: pressing the fingers into the WALL gives a constant reminder to stabilize the ribcage- especially to control the lower ribs from jutting forward & the lower back over arching ( maintaining a "closed scissor" position of ribcage & pelvis) ✂ .. Keep the ribcage stable and explore movements with the legs and arms, but keep checking those front ribs ( engage the obliques) ! ..

An ordinary flat WALL is something we all have access to, but is often overlooked as a prop. 👉The WALL has incredible versatility- far beyond handstands & inversions. 🙌 It has the ability to make physically challenging poses more accessible, to deepen the restorative effect of supported postures, and it ads a whole new dimension of challenge by opening up new directions of movement. .. The WALL is a place where we can play with our relationship to gravity! .  .  .  .  .  .  Digital Download of "Yoga Therapy At The Wall" comes out FRIDAY June 21st 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 @yoga_at_the_wall #wallyoga #yogaatthewall #lauragoellneryoga #lauragyoga #yoga #yogavideo #yogateacher #yogatherapist #yogatherapy #yogisofig #igyogis #yogini #yogi #yogatherapy #yogagirl #igyoga #yogisofinstagram #hummingbirdyoganj #therapeuticyoga (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/By2c12LHxMS/?igshid=1kbgrucpc1owb
