Hi Andra. You could opt to place bolsters behind you and perhaps a block under your sit bones to support your body in a modified version of this shape! If you experiment with a few different configurations of props you might find a great modification for your particular needs :) In this class Nicole demos a variation with a few different props: Nature Yin (youryogaflowstudio.com).
Pilates, with its emphasis on controlled movements and core strength, is not only a great addition to your movement routine but can also provide numerous other benefits for your body and mind. The practice helps to improve posture, flexibility, and overall muscular strength, making it an ideal complement to our beloved yoga practice.
One of the things I find most captivating about Pilates is how motivational it can be. The precision required in each movement requires a focused mindset that allows you to leave any stress outside the studio (or home studio space!) and helps you find a serene and calmer state of mind.
Do you practice Pilates alongside your yoga practices? How has it impacted your wellness journey?
Here's one of our most loved Pilates classes with Juan Villegas !
Yoga Nidra, also known as "yogic sleep," is a deeply immersive meditation technique that promotes relaxation by taking you into a state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep. It's like giving your body and mind a much-needed rejuvenation session!
I personally find Yoga Nidra to be an incredibly calming and inspiring practice that helps me release tension and reconnect with myself. The guided meditation allows me to delve into a state of deep relaxation while still remaining alert and aware.
For those who have tried Yoga Nidra, what are some of the positive effects you have experienced? Has it helped improve your overall well-being or manage stress?
If you haven't tried Yoga Nidra yet but feel intrigued after reading about it, take this as an encouraging invitation to explore it further. The practice shared here is led by Angela Inglis and it's an incredible guided journey that you will be sure to come back to time and time again!
