A gentle standing sequence

Published: Apr 7, 2016 by Lucy Tennyson

Many flow sequences such as salute to the sun can put a lot of strain on the wrists and arms. The standing flow sequence I taught recently can be taken very slowly and gently, and requires no downward dog movements.

It was put together by a well regarded yoga teacher and author Leslie Kaminoff and you can watch in online on the Yoga Journal website, click here to see it.

I hope my notes below act as a reminder - just try it and remember to use the breath to guide you in and out of the moments. Start on one side, and repeat each move three times, or hold for three breaths, then switch to the other leg.

1. PLAN IT

Now we are heading towards the autumn equinox on 21 September, nights are starting to draw in. It’s a time of change, as we move from the summer into autumn and we start to look ahead towards winter. We might start making plans for the year to come.

Edit post Kickstart your home practice!

Doing yoga at home in between classes will help you keep mobile for the rest of your life - but it’s often hard to know what to do, or get started. You have to first, establish a routine, by deciding what time of day, and how long. Say 10 minutes every morning, for example, or 20 minutes three times a week.
