Holding Gyan mudra as a reminder to take care of your own health and well being. In Gyan Mudra, the energy in your body circulates to your finger tips and beyond, carrying with it your positive intentions and good wishes. The connection of forefinger and thumb circulates some of your positive energy back to yourself.

Join me for an hour of yoga 7.30 – 8.30pm Thursdays during August 2023 in the Dance Studio, South Mill Arts Centre, South Road, Bishop’s Stortford.

Up dog, or ‘Urdhva Mukha Svanasana’, opens the heart and develops back strength with a backbend that gradually takes more body weight as the student becomes more proficient in the posture. The starting pose, shown here, allows you to have the hips grounded while opening the heart area, pressing the arms straight with flat palms, lifting the torso without tensing the shoulders, and extending the top of the head away from the floor.

Once the student can comfortably and easily support their upper body weight in this position, we can work on extending the backbend, so the hips also lift from the floor, without collapsing into the lower back. Finally, you can roll or step over the toes, and press the tops of the feet into the floor.

Despite its apparent simplicity, this is an intermediate level pose, and it is best to work with a teacher when first practicing this pose. An untrained student can easily bring too much pressure into the lower back, resulting in muscular discomfort, or even muscle strain.

You may see photos or drawings of this pose where the head is thrown all the way back, but this is no longer regarded as correct: the neck should instead extend the curve of the spine to avoid the base of the skull pressing into the neck, and restricting the blood supply to the back of the head.

Can you touch your toes? How about with your legs straight? Yoga develops and maintains suppleness and flexibility.

Uttanasana, the standing forward fold, is a simple exercise that helps a lot when starting the journey back to fitness. Uttanasana stretches the hamstrings, calf muscles and achilles tendons, and exercies the arches in the feet. The forward fold is accompanied by an exhale, emptying to create space to fold into. Avoid overstretching the Anterior Cruciate Ligaments at the back of the knees, by keeping a microbend in the knees. The Legs should be straight, but not locked.

Join me for a Hatha Yoga class every Friday evening at 7.30 pm at South Mill Arts Centre Bishops Stortford.
