I’m posting today’s and tomorrow’s because I want to give you all a rest before our practice on the 16th. So Day 14 is Vrikasana, better known as tree pose. This a great one to help you out with your balance. I love this pose, because it really can vary a lot just from closing your eyes, placement of your foot, etc. Speaking of, whatever you do in this DO NOT REST YOUR FOOT ON YOUR ON KNEE. It’s so imperative because a lot of people have injured themselves by doing that. Honestly, the best modification I find for this one is just putting your hand on the wall for stability.
Day 15 is Uttanasana or Forward Fold. The reason I love this pose is because again, depending on your day you can control how deep you want to go into the pose. This is a great pose for stretching out your hamstrings. A great modification for this pose is simply putting blocks in front of you. This not only gives you stability, but also gives you control how challenging you want to make the pose for yourself that day. Another modification you can do is holding your elbows. I love this modification for restorative days and can hang out in the pose for awhile. That’s it and I’m looking forward to posting my first class in the coming day or two!
