Glad it was helpful! 🙏 Lin and Leo😊

Thanks for the question Sonia. In addition to the two asanas you mention, you could do a sequence that includes Vrksasana, Parsva Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana (and the Parivrtta version), Parivrtta Trikonasana, Virabhadrasana 2, Utthita Parsvakonasana, Bharadvajasana 1, Supta Virasana, Upavistha Konasana, (also the Parsva and Parivrtta versions) Janu Sirsasana and Parivrtta Janu Sirsasana. Don't always follow the same path; mix it up a bit and have fun! Let us know how you get on. Lin and Leo 🙏

Thanks for your lovely comment! Lin and Leo 🙏

You are very welcome. 🙏 Lin and Leo

We are so glad you enjoyed this brisk sequence! Lin and Leo 🙏

You are very welcome! 🙏 Lin and Leo

Hello. This is the beginning of Urdhva Prasarita Padasana. In its more advanced form the legs are lowered, then raised, 30, 60 and 90 degrees. We hope this helps. Lin and Leo 🙏

Hi Emmaelle. Thanks for the comment! Really don’t worry about getting your head to the floor. Support your head on blocks or folded blankets and work on lifting your legs. This is the key to eventually getting the head to the floor. It takes a long time but keep repeating the mantra “in order to go down, you have to go up”. With time, even those with long limbs can get into the pose! Let us know how you get on! Lin and Leo

Hello zmermaid. Thanks so much for the comment. We do know how difficult it can be after having injury and surgery, when the body is not as cooperative as it has been in the past. But even if you have forgotten yoga, yoga does not forget you. As you have found, the memory is still there in the body. Don't be too ambitious. Do a short practice consistently and you will be surprised at how soon the body responds. Have a look at our Playlists www.youtube.com/@YogawithLinandLeo/playlists and focus on the Classes from the Maidstone Yoga Centre and the Beginners Classes. Let us know how you get on! Lin and Leo 🙏

Thanks for the great commemt Jena. Have a look at our playlists for other Beginner videos. www.youtube.com/@YogawithLinandLeo/playlists Happy practicing! Lin and Leo 🙏

Hi JT. Thanks for the lovely comment. Have a look at our playlists on our home page @yogawithlinandleo for more videos for beginners. Happy practicing! 🙏 Lin and Leo

You are welcome! 🙏

Hi Vanessa. Have a look at our home page which has about 500 videos in the Video Tab and a number of different playlists in the Playlist section. kzbin.infovideos If you need any assistance, please just let us know.

Thank you for the lovely comment Vanessa. Have a look at our playlists for other videos. Our more recent films have much better audio quality... Have a great practice! Lin and Leo 🙏

Hello Nihars. We are so pleased that you are enjoying these videos. It is very helpful to repeat sequences and you cannot go over the basics too often! We love to hear from our viewers so please do continue to let us know how you are progressing with your yoga practice. 😊 Lin and Leo.

You are very welcome Monica. Have a look at our playlist "Yoga for Backbends" if you enjoy this sort of practice! Namaste. 🙏 Lin and Leo

You are so welcome. Lin and Leo 😊

Thank you so much 🙂. Lin and Leo

Thanks rekhajoshi1062. We really appreciate the comment! 😊Lin and Leo

What a lovely comment @TATHAGAT80! Thank you. Lin and Leo

Thanks so much for the lovely comment @TATHAGAT80. 🙏It might be nice to be a multi-millionaire but i seriously doubt that we will ever know! 😂 However, what is more valuable for us by far is to be able to share our passion for yoga and the benefits it can offer people . We are so pleased that you are finding the videos useful. Do have a look at our Beginners Playlist; we have hundreds of videos on there. We don't promote our channel as effectively as we perhaps could, because we are yoga teachers first and foremost. Our role as KZbinrs is very much secondary, but we hope we can reach a wider audience using this channel. We really appreciate our viewers from all over the globe joining us in a celebration of yoga and thank you for contacting us to let us know how you are getting on! Namaste. Lin and Leo

Hi Jeanberg So glad you are finding the videos useful. Do check out our playlists, particularly the Beginners videos playlist for lots more and do let us know how you get on! Namaste. 🙏 Lin and Leo

Hello katharch. Try taking your hands higher, to a table-top, desk or window ledge, with your arms straight, aiming to make 2 sides of a rectangle with your body. The legs as the vertical side, (perpendicular legs) and your torso and arms as the top side of the rectangle. Aim for a flat back and hold the action breathing into the tension and observing where the tightness is. The backs of the legs, outer armpits and/or the upper back are probable areas of tightness. Hold for 30 seconds to 1 minute and repeat this 3 - 10 times a day. Depending on the reasons for the stiffness, you should see an improvement after a couple of weeks. Once the body has started to release, you can try taking the hands down to the seat of a chair and see how it goes. Let us know how you get on! 🙏 Lin and Leo

Hello Moira. We are so pleased that you found this useful. Do have a look at our extensive back catalogue of films for more inspiration! 🙏 Lin and Leo

Hello Reshma. At the beginning of this video, you can see that a belt has been placed over the door. It is possible to place the buckle of one or two belts at the top of a door and when the door is closed, (as long as you can be sure that the belts are secure), you can use these like the high wall ropes to get extension of the side waist in poses like Virabhadrasana I. For Adho Mukha Svanasana, (hips supported using the ropes), you can attach a belt to both sides of a door using the belt looped around the door handles. Again you need to make sure that the belt and the door and the handles are secure. There are a number of Iyengar yoga teachers/studios in Paris that should be able to help you if this explanation is a little difficult to understand but hopefully this will give you some insight into how to use belts creatively when you don’t have access to a rope wall! We hope that this helps. Lin and Leo

Glad it was helpful! Lin and Leo 🙏

Hello. Thanks for the comment. This is one of our old videos and we do appreciate that the audio quality is sub-optimal. In more recent years we have invested in high-level audio equipment which has improved the sound quality of our recordings, so have a look at these videos, all of which are suitable for students who are menstruating: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gX2aoJt5bsdnd9E kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYnWkIGsq72jbNE kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5DFpX2aadylm6s. Also, you may want to check out this playlist on which all the videos are recorded using our Sennheiser mic so all have good sound quality: kzbin.info/aero/PLLTwDvdKnrC7cOyxkb49zMtRtbvDyumeL. We do hope this helps. Lin and Leo 🙏

@@YogawithLinandLeo oh ok I was recommended this video by my teacher.

Hi Maricela. Thanks so much. We will be getting back to posting new videos soon. Like so many businesses, our yoga studio has suffered post-pandemic, and we have had to find new ways of generating revenue streams. As a consequence, we are taking a bit of a break from @yogawithlinandleo; just for a few weeks while we work on these projects. We will be announcing soon that we are launching a full lending library of videos, accessible via our Maidstone Yoga Centre website. We are also busy developing other projects to enable us to keep the Yoga Centre going while the economy rebalances. In the meantime, enjoy our extensive back catalogue. I am sending you a link to the playlist of videos that benefit from the new AV equipment, so better sound and visual than our old videos! kzbin.info/aero/PLLTwDvdKnrC7VEZ59Y37hbgHce7J0QWlX Thanks for your continued support. 🙏 Lin and Leo

Dear Leo and Lin, Post-pandemic has made us change a lot of things. Changes are good, they make us move forward and experience new and exciting things. It is also important to make a break in order to refresh our ideas. I’m looking forward to continuing practicing with you.

Hello Mercedes. We are so pleased you enjoyed this series. For the others in the 18 Days of Yoga, have a look at this Playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLLTwDvdKnrC4Lq0GLKne5_3xC951vukoT. If you go to the playlists section of our channel @yogawithlinandleo there are several Days of Yoga playlists that you may find useful. Let us know how you get on! Namaste. 🙏 Lin and Leo

Muchas gracias por tu cumplido Elisabeth. Estamos muy contentos de que el video te haya resultado útil. 🙏 Lin and Leo

Hello Sarah. Thanks for your comment. We do appreciate that Sirsasana is a very challenging pose and needs a lot of instruction. These KZbin videos are shortened versions of the complete hour long classes that we offer at the Maidstone Yoga Centre www.iyengar-yoga.co.uk/ so they don't contain a complete class. This work moves on from the fundamental instructions for inversions, but we would recommend you have a look at this playlist kzbin.info/aero/PLLTwDvdKnrC4KxNAmAbH2BKrvFy-nbLKE which we devised for those who are looking to improve their actions in inversions. We do hope that this helps. Lin and Leo

@@YogawithLinandLeo thank you for your helpful response.

You are very welcome Sarah. 🙏 Let us know how you get on with your inversions. Lin and Leo

@YogawithLinandLeo I'm one of those crazy wild Spring Chickens that takes my shirt off in Yoga class.

💛Thanks so much for the lovely comment! Namaste 🙏 Lin and Leo

Hi Diana. We are delighted that you found us and that you are finding the instructions useful. If you search our playlists and videos, we have many classes with us teaching individually where the sound quality is improved as we invested in professional audio equipment when Covid hit. Let us know how you progress! Lin and Leo

Thanks for the lovely comment Rekha and so please you find the class useful. Lin and Leo

Hello Sukanyaa. Thanks for the comment. This series was done some years ago when we had just started the channel. Since then we have upgraded our audio so please have a look at these more recent videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZSWqqhvea5mgLs and kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpeXpGSEZriXaLM We do hope this helps!
