FLOW: FLYING PIGEON

Yoga is a union between postures (asanas) and breath (pranayama). Most of my sequences are set up in a way that prepares the body for a more complex posture — in this case: flying pigeon. This flow takes about 60 minutes and will build up to Eka Pada Galavasana, but that in no way means you have to try it out. Honor your practice, you know your body the best.

I hope to add some videos or voice recordings onto this blog that way it is easier to pace yourself through this flow and have an example to follow. But first things first, I’m just trying to get these flows out of my head and onto paper ~relatively speaking~ to share with you.

In power-vinyasa yoga, the focus is held on connecting breath to a movement while also building strength. Anytime a new posture is introduced, try to stay in it for a little while (5 breaths or so) to feel it out in your body. I will designate an (I) for a transition of inhalation and an (E) when you transition on an exhalation. If you are lost, please reach out, I would be happy to help. Here we go:
