Yoga 101 - Tutorials

In this short tutorial, I am breaking down one of the most common poses you'll encounter in most Vinyasa and Hatha yoga classes - Downward Facing Dog (Sanksrit - Adho Mukha Svanasana). Here you will find some tips for alignment and how to modify for your body - particularly if you have tight hamstrings, but also a few modifications for what to do instead, if you have any shoulder or wrist issues preventing you from practicing this pose. A reminder to always listen to your body, and if you experience pain, pull back and/or modify! I hope you find this helpful - let me know if you have any requests for other common poses!

A short introduction to one of my go-to pranayama (breath control) techniques to quickly ground me and quieten my mind. A great tool for managing anxiety and stress, however if the breath retention gets too much, then simply revert to inhale for 4 / exhale for 4. PRECAUTION: It is not recommended to hold breath in or out if you are pregnant or suffer from high/low blood pressure. SImply revert to inhale for 4 / exhale for 4 without the retention on either end. ____________________________________________________ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/juliebea_yoga/ or @juliebea_yoga Website: www.juliebeayoga.com ____________________________________________________ Disclaimer: Please understand that yoga is not a substitute for medical attention, examination, diagnosis, or treatment.
