Hips and Shoulders
This class focuses on hip flexion and shoulder extension, among lots more. Start by moving through a flow where we take our shoulders into active extension, internal and external rotation. Then work through the rest of the class moving your shoulders mindfully while adding some hip strengthening drills.
Kettlebell Yoga Class
This is a 20 min yoga based class using a kettlebell. Start by warming up your shoulders to then move through variations of sun salutations. Once the body is warm, we strengthen our arms, shoulders, hips, and core, all of this using our kettlebell and two blocks. Feel free to take breaks if it gets too challenging. I recommend you to start with a lightweight kettlebell, to begin with, especially if you have never used one before.
Have fun!

Marichyasana A, B, C y D
Marichi: rayo de luz; Asana: postura. Postura dedicada al sabio Marichy, hijo de Brahma. En la mitología hindú, el dios Brahma es creador de todo. Brahma, a su vez, fue abuelo de Surya, el dios Sol, a quien saludamos con Surya Namaskara (A y B).
Número de respiraciones: 5 en cada lado de cada postura
Dristhi: punta de la nariz en A y B; horizonte (por encima del hombro) en C y D
Posibles riesgos: lumbares, isquiotibiales, rodilla de la pierna doblada (en B y D)
Se practican una detrás de a otra, siempre ajustándolas a la experiencia del practicante. Las dos primeras, A y B, son flexiones hacia delante y las otras dos, C y D, torsiones. Los principiantes pueden hacer la A y la C, y con el tiempo incorporar la B y la D a su práctica.
Posturas de Suelo Primera Serie
Las series de Ashtanga son series cerradas: las posturas se practican siempre en el mismo orden porque cada una de ellas te prepara física y mentalmente para la siguiente.
En este vídeo se practican muchas de las posturas de suelo de la Primera Serie, desde Dandasana hasta Navasana y desde Urdvha Dhanurasana hasta Savasana. Además, antes de Savasana, se entona el mantra de cierre.
Las posturas de suelo que se presentan en este vídeo junto a las posturas de pie expuestas en otro vídeo, suponen una práctica muy completa y un muy buen punto de partida para las personas que se inician en Ashtanga.
¡Buena práctica!

How to Jump Through

La magia de abrir el corazón (II)
Casi todos jugamos a hacer esta postura cuando éramos niños, ¿verdad? La postura de la rueda (en sánscrito, Urdhva Dhanurasana) es la postura que más frecuentemente se asocia a una extensión hacia atrás y es mucho más accesible que otras. Puede servir para entender cómo funcionan las extensiones hacia atrás o, dicho de otra manera, cómo abrir toda la parte frontal del cuerpo: desde el movimiento de los hombros hasta la fuerza de las piernas, pasando por la activación de la pelvis y el estiramiento del psoas.
¡Requiere tiempo, paciencia y mucha ilusión!
