19 Days of Yoga - Day 2. Iyengar Yoga Sequence

Day 2 - 19 Days of Yoga. Iyengar Yoga Sequence
Following the success of our 30 Days of Yoga and 13 Days of Yoga series, this year we have taken a slightly different approach. We have done voiceovers, rather than talking to camera. Lin, in the white top, will be showing the classic versions of poses and Leo, in the dark top, will be showing modified versions of the poses using props. The modified versions are for those who find the pose difficult, or who wish to improve their work in the pose. 19th January 2018 will be the fourth annual National Iyengar Yoga Day in the UK and Ireland to celebrate the teachings of Guruji, B.K.S. Iyengar, and to promote Iyengar yoga nationally. Events will include free taster classes and celebrations of his life in Iyengar Yoga Institutes and centres throughout the country. 'Yoga with Lin and Leo' channel is leading up to this day with a series of 19 yoga sequences. In the Iyengar tradition, these sequences would be regarded as "Beginners Yoga" as all the asanas are taken from the Introductory syllabus, however, they are not suitable for those who are completely new to yoga. We will be doing a series in the New Year which will be a Foundations of Yoga series to introduce those who have never practiced yoga to the subject and which will help to prepare new yoga students for yoga classes or yoga workshops at their local Iyengar Yoga centre and help them practice between classes when they want to do yoga at home..
Day 2 of 19 Days of Yoga - the yoga class comprises the following yoga poses:
Adho Mukha Svanasana, (Dog Head Down)
Uttanasana, (Forward Bend)
Adho Mukha Svanasana, (Dog Head Down)
Uttanasana, (Forward Bend)
Virabhadrasana 2 (Warrior 2 Pose)
Dandasana (Staff or Stick Pose)
Bharadvajasana 1 (seated twist)
Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (Supported Bridge Pose)
Supta Baddha Konasana- Feet raised. (Supine Bound Angle or Supine Cobblers Pose).
Savasana (Corpse Pose)
If you are doing the classical yoga poses, you just need your mat and a yoga brick. If you are doing the modified versions, as well as your mat you will need the following yoga equipment:
1 x yoga bolster (you can use 2 x foam pads or a couple of cushions)
2 x yoga bricks (you can use 2 x foam pads or the seat of a chair)
1 x yoga blanket (or other blanket)
4 x foam pads
These sequences aim to improve your extension, alignment and balance in the poses. If you find any of the poses difficult, you can look the poses up in our Yoga Pose Directory, which we are adding to all the time. In the Pose Directory you will find yoga tutorials on many of the poses you will encounter in the 19 Days of Yoga Series. These tutorials will teach the poses in more detail and sometimes with extra props.

Yoga practice can improve strength and flexibility and yoga for back pain relief and yoga for weight loss has been supported by many studies.
Join Yoga with Lin and Leo for safe, detailed instruction from experienced Iyengar yoga teachers. Although we would always suggest that you find a certified Iyengar yoga teacher so that you can attend a class near you, this channel has yoga sequences to help you practice your yoga at home.
Yoga is not a sport but regular practice of yoga sequences can improve fitness levels. Practiced correctly, yoga will stretch muscles and strengthen joints, as well as helping with mental and physical wellbeing; indeed many studies have shown that yoga can have remarkable effects on problems with back pain, shoulder pain and neck pain as well as demonstrating positive effects on mental health problems such as depression. www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10...

Your videos are so clear and showing the modifications is so helpful. These are the perfect compliment to my weekly zoom classes with my iyengar teacher whilst in confinement. You are lifesavers. Many Thanks

Wonderful demonstration of yoga poses! Love your videos. I was wondering if you could also tell the viewers the benefits of these postures and asanas on their physical and mental health. It will certainly keeps the motivation level of practitioners very high through out ! 🙏

[@YogawithLinandLeo]

Thanks for the great suggestion Shashh. We will try to incorporate some more information about the benefits of the asanas in our videos. It’s more important than ever that people understand how helpful yoga can be for our physical and mental health. 🙏 Lin and Leo

Couldnt see anything as the written things r covering everything sad

[@YogawithLinandLeo]

Thanks for the comment. It sounds as though you have the Closed Captions option switched on. Have a look at the bottom right hand corner of the screen and you will see a button that says CC. Click on this to turn off the subtitles and clear the screen. Let us know if this works - you won't be alone! Namaste. Lin and Leo 🙏

So glad that it worked. It’s not obvious and when we started the channel we couldn’t work out how to turn off the subtitles! Let us know how you get on with the series. In our experience, the more yoga you do, the better you feel! 🙏 Namaste . Lin and Leo
