🧘🏼Here’s your weekly home practice!🧘🏽‍♂️

Below are sequences for your weekly home practice to continue to support a healthy immune system and relieve stress. For those who do not practice inversions, you can substitute the reclined bound angle (supta baddha konasana), legs up the wall (viparita karani) or other reclined postures.

Everyone stay safe and healthy! ☀️

A note from Pamela Ryan:

“Although I believe that a yoga practice is a meaningful way to support our health and well being, it is apparent that practicing in a group setting at this time would be irresponsible. To that end, Align Yoga will be suspending weekly classes until further notice. When this time of ‘social distancing’ passes, we will resume the normal class schedule.”

Sequences for your weekly home practices will be shared shortly.

Everyone stay healthy! ☀️

🌀Let’s talk about circulation and how yoga benefits it!🌀

Since poor circulation plays a role in almost every disease, this week’s sequence was specifically designed to enhance the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems. The lymphatic system works with your cardiovascular system to keep blood and lymphatic fluid levels in balance and flush toxins from the body. It also carries immune cells throughout the body to help defend against infections.

The heart powers cardiovascular circulation, supplying every part of the body with oxygen and nutrients. Poor circulation not only impairs blood flow, but also unduly taxes the heart and can lead to a number of health problems.

Unlike the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system doesn’t have a powerful organ like the heart to keep fluid flowing. Rather, the lymphatic system is stimulated by gravity, contrast hydrotherapy, muscle contraction and deep breathing.

Asanas, including an inversion or two, and breath work (pranayama) are included in this week’s practice.

Here are a few more ways to boost circulation for detoxification and immunity:

1) Drink plenty of water
2) Exercise regularly (cardio and strength training)
3) Eat healthy
4) Massage therapy
5) Manual Lymphatic Drainage therapy
6) Vibration and rebounding therapies

See you on the mat! 🌀

🌅 This week, we’re tackling sun salutations! 🌅

Surya Namaskar (sun salutation) is a sequence of gracefully linked asanas moving from standing positions, forward bends, back bends, lunges or warrior poses and then back to standing position.

This week we practice each asana in the sequence with careful attention to details of alignment. We’ll practice modifications to each asana according to the Iyengar method to accommodate every student.

See you on the mat! ☀️
