Join Lin and Leo for a LIVE Zoom class! Click on the link for your Free Trial class. www.iyengar-yo...
This is an Iyengar Yoga Sequence for Beginners. @Yoga with Lin and Leo have changed the way we work due to the Covid-19 situation. We hope to be posting more frequently, but we will be teaching individually.
This yoga sequence, taught by Leo, is a shortened version of one of the virtual classes we are teaching at the Maidstone Yoga Centre, which is closed during this outbreak of Coronavirus. If you would like access to the full class, CLICK THIS LINK TO REGISTER AT THE CENTRE. www.iyengar-yo... YOUR FIRST CLASS IS FREE when booking. We have a Zoom discussion for those who want to join us.
This sequence is Beginners yoga, (for those who know the basics of the subject) but we will also be posting Complete Beginners Yoga routines, (for those who are new to the subject), Improvers classes, (for those who are working on their inversions and deepening their practice), and short Intermediate seqeunces, (for those who have an established, mature practice and are ready to tackle some of the more challenging poses).
This sequence comprises the following poses:
Adho mukha Virasana - Forward Folding Hero Pose
Adho Mukha Svanasana - Dog Head Down Pose
Ardha Uttanasana - Forward Bend to chair
Ardha Prasarita Padasana - Wide legged forward bend to chair then bricks
Prone Savasana - Corpse Pose
You need your mat and a chair, 2 bricks (or pads or books), and a blanket for this practice.
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.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 the efficacy of long-term yoga practice 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.

[@YogawithLinandLeo]

Hello X Men. We are sorry to hear that you have a problem with your forward bends - but don't worry! Stiffness is an impediment, but it is not a disease and with consistent, patient practice, you can re-gain mobility in the body and the mind. A skilled teacher can help you understand the modifications you will need to use. Lin runs a Recovery and Remedial class on Fridays at 13.00-14.30 GMT which has a Livestream option for those in different countries. Go to: www.iyengar-yoga.co.uk/ to register and book your class with Lin. You will see from the timetable the classes that Lin and Leo run which can be accessed via the Livestream option. Alternatively, have a look at this playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLLTwDvdKnrC4tOukeolPylhfPWOjcad5B which has different ways of working to improve flexibility. Or buy our ebook: www.amazon.co.uk/Yoga-Stiffer-Body-Inspirational-Accessible-ebook/dp/B01IYO67M8. (Available in most countries via Amazon) We hope that these options will give you something to work with. We check our comments and try to answer within the week so let us know if you need more help. Lin and Leo
