Yoga Swing All Levels Forward Fold 2014

In this yoga swing instructional video, Leela Robinson shares a practice focused on postures in the anterior "pelvic nest" position. The first posture is restorative, followed by a conditioning core sequence. Includes supported forward fold, warrior III, flying 5 pointed star, cannonball tuck and round, full backbend. Recommendations: *Establish intention to be safe and have fun. Cultivate courage to grow your yoga edge (expand comfort zone) and compassion for your experience. *Make sure your swing is safely installed. Swing seat at hip height, swing handles shoulderwidth apart. 6-7 feet of 360 degree clear span needed to do all poses. *Position a yoga mat under your swing and have two foam yoga blocks available. *Watch the video first, then practice along with your yoga swing. *Breathe deep. Choose a breath count ratio that works for you. For example: 4 count inhale, pause, 4 or 5 count exhale, pause. 4-1-5-1. Use the 4 count exhale for more strengthening poses, use the 5 count exhale for relaxing poses. *Modify at will, hold each posture as long as you like, and do as many reps as you want. *The sequence moves quickly for demo purposes, pause it to practice at your own pace. *Move slowly in an out of inversions. Always inhale when rising up. *Give yourself an oscillation massage in any posture by rhythmically rocking side to side. Any pose can become more therapeutic with rhythmic movement. *Share what you learn with family and friends. *Please leave questions, comments and a thumbs up if you think there should be more yoga swinging in the world.
