Specifically working on shoulder flexion, spinal extension and hip extension, in isolation first before working our way towards integration. You'll be best served by using a few bolsters (or a stack of blankets), a couple of blocks and a strap or belt. Not too long of a practice but still builds some solid heat.
Standing head to knee pose involves a lot of effort, period. The second way to approach it requires even more... and is a bit of an extension of some of the handing hamstring work you may have encountered with me in other practices. Enjoy!
Separating the effort and position of a joint action can sometimes highlight better the different ways we can employ movements. This practice does that with shoulder flexion, which is one of the primary efforts of something like crow pose - which we have a little play with at the end. It's just a...
Dissecting the work needed to prep for a strong side-plank, this practice will get the heat flowing in a reasonably brief 45 min exploration. A strap would be helpful here.
